New custody schedule working better

7h ago·1 min read

We changed from the standard every other weekend to a 50/50 split where I have them Wed nights and every other weekend. It's only been a month but honestly the kids seem less stressed and I'm getting more consistent dad time instead of cramming everything into two days. It took a lot of back and forth with the ex but we both realized they needed stability more than sticking to traditional schedules. Might be worth talking to your ex about.

That's awesome. The kids benefit so much from more consistent contact with both parents instead of waiting two weeks between visits. Good on you for making that adjustment work.

That's great that you found a schedule that actually works. The every other weekend thing never made sense for real relationship building anyway. Wed nights and split weekends sounds way more balanced for the kids.

Nice, a 50/50 split is the way to go. How long did it take you guys to figure out that the standard schedule wasn't working? We're still doing every other weekend and it feels limiting.

A month in is still early but if everyone's already feeling better about it, you're probably onto something good. Co-parenting wins are real wins.

That's awesome that the Wed nights are working out! The consistency probably helps the kids way more than the typical every-other-weekend setup.
