What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?MO
Basic Background: Mom and Dad have joint custody.
Mom is supposed to get kiddos EOW, actually EOWeek per CO, but only EOWeekend per their random agreement.
Dad works out of state.
I'm StepMom, for those that don't already know this ;-)
Dad got sent to Pennsylvania last week for work and told the job was only going to be for a few weeks. Now being told it will be approx 2 YEARS and they are working 5 days/8 hours per week instead of 4/10s as usual. Job is 13 hours from here. That means Dad can't come home on weekends. To make it even better, a realtor contacted me and told me that the person who owns our house is putting it back on the maket. We were in a rent-to-own type agreement where we paid a certain amount extra over our rent to go towards the down payment while we got our credit in a better place to get financed for the house.
Dad is wanting to see if Mom will come to an agreement as far as kiddos are concerned and file it with the courts. We both know that if Mom decides she wants primary custody, there's a pretty darn good chance she'd get it, since they are being raised by me, not Dad.
Here's what Dad's wanting to offer:
Primary physical to Dad, Mom having 1 full week every month, plus extra time as agreed upon.
Dad provides all transportation (well actually *I* provide it, he just pays for it. LOL).
No Child Support.
Permission for the kiddos to be homeschooled/online curriculum.
Dad claims kiddos on taxes.
He hasn't talked to Mom yet, but will be talking to her either tonight or tomorrow.
