There is no crystal ball here, Mum very well may find a place to live, with a friend, a roomate etc. So you don't know for a fact that she will be homeless. Second the outcome could be one of many things:
A. you could get primary custody with Mum getting visitation and/or Mum being allowed to provide care when you are flying.
B. Mum could be allowed to relocated to Iowa and you get a long distance plan based on your job as a pilot and you could very well be asked to foot the bill for transportation given the industry you are in.
c. You and Mum could get 50-50 with Mum being allowed to provide care when you are flying
d. same as #c with you being able to provide care anyway you want when you are flying.
or any thing else!
The circumstances of your case are somewhat unusual and there is an established history of Mum being the primary caretaker when you are flying.Once again, you (or your attny) are being very ****y in what you think will happen and there is no indication that will be the outcome for certain. You could stand to lose a lot more time with the kids.
So I would try and figure out something that works for you and Mum.. that is always the best option regardless of what you feel about Mum.. she is Mum and not homeless yet and that is the only basis you seem to have to ask for primary custody.. so be careful and again, drop the arrogance!
