Been a long road but the judge granted me equal custody and my kids are now with me every other week plus weekends. Still can't believe it happened honestly. My ex fought me hard but the documentation I kept of everything paid off. Just wanted to share this win with guys going through similar situations. Don't give up. It's possible to be an equal parent in the eyes of the law.
Two years is brutal, man. Congrats on finally getting the judge to see what you already knew. The every other week plus weekends setup is going to be amazing once you find your rhythm with it.
This is the win right here. Equal custody and the kids getting equal time with both parents is what it's all about. Bet that feels incredible after two years of fighting. What was the biggest hurdle in getting the judge to see it your way?
Congratulations man, that's huge. Two years is a long fight. How are the kids handling the transition to the every-other-week schedule? I'm asking because I just went through something similar and we're still settling into the new routine.
Respect for sticking it out. A lot of guys would have given up halfway through. The logistics of 50/50 are no joke though - different schools, different schedules, coordinating everything. You've got this figured out yet or still working through it?

That's huge. Equal custody takes work and you clearly put in the effort. My kids are thriving since we went 50/50 so I know that feeling of just wanting to pinch yourself that it actually happened.
