Finally got the custody agreement I wanted and feeling relieved

After 18 months of back and forth lawyers and mediation, we finally got an agreement signed. I have them Mon-Thurs now and she has them Fri-Sun. Both of us compromised but honestly it feels fair and my kids seem happier with a more predictable schedule. The lawyer fees were brutal but I think it was worth it for everyone's peace of mind.

18 months though? That's brutal. Glad you finally got through it. The financial hit and the emotional toll has to be real. Here's to a fresh start with the kids.

Congrats man, that's huge. 18 months is a marathon. Now you can actually focus on being a dad instead of living in lawyer's offices. Hope you get some good quality time with your kid now.

Relief is real but also remember the hard part isn't over - it's staying positive through the handoff times and not badmouthing the other parent. That agreement is just paper. How you use it matters.
