Q: How do I support my case to have physical placement of my child? Shared placement does not work with dads work schedule.
I supported half our income on part time and am available most days to bring/pick up our son to school. I believe it would be in the best interest for him to have physical placement with me versus what his father wants which is shared placement (50/50). However, he works full time with many times being held over at work so that 50/50 becomes 50/30/20 or similar with third party involvement.
When I’ve brought this up, I’ve been told - if on the days where Dad works but has our son, I can have the option to take him. But I I already know in advance his full time schedule, how do I continue to fight for an agreement On having physical placement since I know I’d be asked to take him all the time anyways?
A: If you and your child's father cannot resolve it, work with a practicing family court attorney to help prepare to present your case.
