I am about to take a ride on the D Train (divorce you pervs!). I have zero desire to be the typical every other weekend Dad. I was hoping to hear from Dads who have done a 50/50 split or something similar and get an idea if what works and what doesnt.

I want to maximize my time with my daughter, but not have something so chaotic that ends up being bad for her in the end.

INB4 "Dont get divorced" "You are a failure as a parent" "Let me tell you how my ex raped me on child support".

Why are you getting divorced?

How old is the kid?

I have mine every Sunday Monday Tuesday and every other Saturday, it works great. I don’t have to go a week without seeing them, and I still have a life.

Mine have adjusted well. (Mine were 1 month old and less than 2 years when my ex split.)

No chid support, no alimony, and I kept the house.
After it was done my lawyer said




It was just then that I noticed he was a plesiosaur from the Paleozoic Era...



But seriously...if you can keep it amicable (as amicable as it can be) it can work out for you.

Does your daughter have a new dad yet?

Some questions:

What state are you in?
How good is your attorney?
Is your ex-wife a crack head whore?


If yes for question 3, can you give me her number?

You're an "Atty" and coming here for advice? What kind of mickey mouse house of learning did you attend?

Is ex-wife spending time in jail? If not then you probably SOL. Unless you can work out terms with her and her representing attorney where you each get to keep daughter for longer periods of time.

Do you think this is best for the kid? Sounds good for you but the constant back and forth will take its toll.

You should do what is best for your daughter. If it is shared custody, that's fine. If it is visitation with you, that's fine too.

We are horrible spouses for each other despite many attempts at counseling, but very good parents.

Daughter is elementary school age and in the last year had begun to pick up on the tension in the house.

Got a friend that does joint custody with his kid. Think they alternate weekdays and weekends. Works well and both parents get along. Good luck.

With attorneys, you get what you pay for. Do your homework and make sure every little thing is in writing.

Infidelity involved?

Nice response.

Sounds like a crappy situation involving crappy choices. I would say I wish you the best, but I don't know you and could care less.

I hope your kid can adjust and deal

My daughter is 12 and her mother and I divorced when she was 2. From the beginning, we’ve done 50/50. She comes to my house today then goes to her mom’s next Friday. Works especially well during the school year as she just catches the bus to my house on my week and her mom picks her up at carpool on her week. I will say that it was tough in the beginning going a week without seeing her but after some time you get used to it.

Such disregard for your offspring. Divorce is trashy.

ETA: looking forward to all the down votes from the trashy divorcees who think their divorce is unique and justifiable and not indicative of their own poor choices/decisions.

The only possibility of this is staying with your wife. Good luck, Chief.

Man I hope you guys can get along after the split. To me putting up with my ex wife's bullshite is worse than all of my money being gone.
