Just got custody arrangement modified, need advice on next steps

After a year of working through mediation, we finally got it settled. I went from every other weekend to having them Monday through Wednesday and every other weekend. It's what I wanted but now I'm stressed about everything else. Do I need to update my work schedule? Should I get a bigger place? How do I tell the kids their routine is changing without making it seem like a big deal? Feeling a mix of excited and terrified right now.

Good for you for sticking with mediation. I've heard it goes a lot smoother than the alternative. Hope this gives you the time with your kids that you've been wanting.

Congrats on getting it settled. A year of mediation sounds like it was tough. Now that you've got more time with the kids, what's your priority for how you spend it?

That's a big deal. I don't know your situation but getting the custody arrangement you wanted takes work. Are you planning to keep the kids on a consistent schedule now or are you mixing it up?
