Been going back and forth with my ex for 14 months. Finally got 50/50 custody, alternating weeks starting next month. Lawyer said I did better than expected given the circumstances. Now I'm trying to figure out how to make this work practically. Need to baby proof a second bedroom, figure out school pickups, etc. Anyone been through the week-to-week transition? What should I know?
14 months is brutal, man. Glad you're on the other side of it now. 50/50 alternating weeks gives you real time with your kids instead of fighting for scraps.
Congrats on getting it finalized. Those 14 months of back and forth sound exhausting. Now you can actually settle in and enjoy your time with them.
14 months is a long fight. Props for sticking with it and getting to 50/50. That's the fairest arrangement and shows the court saw it your way too.
That's awesome. I can only imagine the relief of having something finalized instead of all that back and forth. Takes a lot of energy out of the week when you're constantly negotiating.
Congrats man, that's huge. 14 months is brutal. The 50/50 alternating weeks schedule is what me and my ex settled on too. It takes time but the kids adjust better when things are predictable. How are they handling the new routine?

That's huge. Getting it done fair and squared away means you can actually focus on being a dad now instead of worrying about court stuff.
