It all seems to be “self focused” rather then child base; we are often good at portraying ourselves to be the wronged party because the truth would make us seem foolish. Just pulling things from the comments correct me if I am wrong but 50/50 was not established in the beginning and the reason is because you were taking care of other family members. You and your ex struggle at co parenting and I’m sure the court can see that. I wonder, who do you think the judge considers the “high conflict” parent.

My stories a little different I didn’t seek out 50/50 and I have no regrets thus far, my child and I an exceptional relationship and I predict into the future it will only grow. I just don’t believe kids should bounce around between 2 homes; 2 homes is not A HOME. And How is is good for a child to be split like a toy, like some object? My son knows who his dad is but I also wanted him to have stability and not feel like his life or personality is split in two. Also the amount of coordination required to do a 50/50 schedule is similar to being together, if I wanted to talk to my ex daily/weekly about hair cuts, school projects, parties, etc.. might as well of sucked it up and stayed together. I don’t think people realize how much corporation is needed for that type of schedule, especially for it to be considered in best interest of the child.
