Following Ex-Wifes Nursing Schedule? - 03/28/23 02:15 AM
Hello…just wondering if anyone has had experience following your ex partners nursing schedule when it comes to parenting/custody.
So my ex-wife and I have been divorced for a little over a year. We just decided to not do a set parenting schedule, and I would just have my daughter (who is 2) the days she works.
At the time she was at a job where she worked 4-12 hour shifts a week. So I ended up having my daughter more than 50/50 which was great, no complaints.
Now she has a job where she works 3-12 hour shifts so I do not get her as much. To make it truly 50/50, I have to ask her if I can have my daughter 3-4 times extra a month. When its convienent to her…if she says no, I cant do anything about it but most of the time she says yes.
Just wondering If I got a custody lawyer now, would I be successful in getting a set schedule that is official and I have her certain days and vice versa?
I just think its an unfair situation and the ball is always in her court.
Any opinions? I know some might say I should have gotten a lawyer when we first split but I didnt want it to be the long drawn out process and so forth which was probably my mistake.
Anyways, thank you
