Just got custody modification approved and feeling relieved
After a rough two years of every other week, I was able to get more time. New schedule is 5 days with me, 2 days with their mom. It was hard to go through the process, had to document a lot of stuff, but the judge saw that the kids were thriving better with more stability from my side. Not trying to trash talk my ex, she loves them too, but sometimes the schedule just works better one way. Feeling blessed about this.
Man, I remember when we finally got our arrangement more in my favor. It's such a relief when the courts actually listen. Enjoy this win because you've earned it.
Awesome news. That extra time makes parenting feel less rushed and more like you're actually present instead of just managing logistics between exchanges.
