Child custody 50/50? Long post**
Hello guys, I need help with something right now.. I was married still but been separated for almost 3 years. We have a 4 years old child, he’s dad usually has him from Saturday to Monday morning before school, and I pick him up from school until Friday afternoon. We’ve been doing this for almost 4 years with no issues, we been helping out whenever he can etc.. and the child school is basically 1 miles away from my apartment, I’m actually his primary home , his dad work out of town every other week and when he’s gone like that I have to find a way or go to work late to help out. But now we about to files for divorce but he’s the one who went to files because I told him it’s fine cause we didn’t have no issues we was doing everything fine amicably.. so on the divorce paper he put sharing time is 50/50, I was like I don’t think it’s 50/50 cause basically you have him on weekends sometimes Friday evening to Monday and I have him on weekdays so if you want to document that you should put it down like exactly how it is right now, he really got upset about that.
We was already had plans to leave that schedule like that and not to document it but he said the court might ask for us to put something down and I told him if they want us to do that then we’ll put it exactly how it is. He was like why can’t we put it 50/50 and start arguing. I told him it’s not about me or you it’s about the child best interest
First of all you’re barely in town, 2nd you only drop him to school one day of the week and you be dropping him really late to school.. and we’ve been doing this like this for years so I would like to keep it this way and I don’t have no issues for you to get him whenever you want to,but he still doesn’t wanna hear about anything I have to say. So I told him I will denied this request about 50/50 so we ll go to court and see.. he was like ok great I guess the judge would decide..
So I ask him why he’s doing this for if he think I’ll put him on child support or something? He was like if not then why cant you accept 50/50 on paper? I was like but it’s not 50/50 and I have no intention of putting you on child support that’s not the case at all.
So if we go to the court do you guys know what can happen? If I request the schedule to stay as it is right now me have him weekdays and he has him weekends, do you guys think the judge will accept or denied my request?
And I’m currently have a child by someone else, could my husband bring that up against me? Btw I didn’t have the child while we were together, he left me for completely no good reason the I started dating my current bf.
Edit** he does give me 400 monthly for him.
