Not that I'm there yet, but how do you implement Plan B with kids? I assume I would consult with a lawyer first? I want to make sure I don't jeapordize custody or anything by implementing a plan b.

also, how does Plan B affect the kids?

Still have a few months to go on Plan A, but covering my bases.

Kids should not have much affect on doing Plan B. Don't really know why you would have to consult with a lawyer because of the kids. You are not limiting contact.

Have you read "Surviving An Affair"?

I do think Plan B is more difficult with school age kids, afterall, you both may want to go to their activities/games/performances/parent teacher conferences. You may run into each other, so, you need to plan what your behavior will be like. In any case, no lovebusters.

It does take planning.

It doesn't sound like you are separated at this point, if you go to B, who will be leaving the home?

Where will the kids live and with whom?

If you leave the house and leave the kids with your WW, do see a lawyer for advice.

For the noncustodial parent, regular visitation needs to be set up. Plan B stipulates that a 3rd party acts as the go-between. If a significant period of time passes this can seem like a big imposition, so, choose well. In some locations/cities there are places that you can utilize/hire that specialize in no contact between parents.

Some Plan B-ers have managed the transfers with exchanges at the door, with limited conversation. However this does tend to lead to more contact.
