I know a LBS dad that didnt fight for partial custody but he wpuld have easily gotten it cause his wife worked 2 jobs. He wanted her back. He still wants her back, and you should hear the stuff she says abput him.

Shes the type that wants to live beypnd her means amd she likes to go out and date. So she leaves her kid with tons of baby sitters. He coudnt afford to stay on the same area and pay her child support, so he moved far away.

He still makes a huge effort to see the kids though and he is a great dad.

Why does your sister deserve better, but you don't?

I see no reason why you couldn't get 50/50. None at all. She doesn't have to be proven unfit for that. I would speak to a different lawyer.

Tate,

You are once again back tracking. You know what you need to do. You can make excuses until the cow moos, but please stop. GO OUT, GET OUT. Your kids know you love them.

You can't become your best version until you let go. You questions show a lot of excuses to try and stay around.

Your W is D you. Show her the best Tate she will be walking away from.

Also, IMO you are still trying to make your W happy, please don't take what she offers you. Fight back and force her to negotiate. Show her the man she will be leaving. A fighter, a person that don't just get rolled over. And walk away from thatvlawyer that want even fight for you. Look up the number one divorce lawyer in San Antonio. She is good, and she will tell you, she can get you 50/50.

Tate,

It's up to the judge not your lawyer. You tell your lawyer what you want. You shoot for the stars and land on the moon.

We are scheduled for mediation, not trial, on May 22.

Tonight is my sons concert. I will show up to see it then do my own thing after.

Wife asked if I wanted to go out of town this weekend to visit our Moms for mothers day. I nicely responded that I won't be going.

Yestetday and today, she has been iniating conversations about her crazy schedules. I only validate by acknowledging how stressful it must be for her.

I could not sleep last night, but I'm still putting on my happy face every second I'm around my W and kids. Its tough...

Ok, so you get to see your kids 50% of the time, there is no reason why you won't get joint, and really, the only difference is the physical address. So, yeah, I wouldn't argue over that. My ex an di have joint custody, I have 70% and he has 30% (something like that) and my address is my daughter's address. however, decision making in her regard is done jointly.

So, yeah, I wouldn't fight the address thing unless you guys are going to live far apart.

And why does she get the house again? Anyhow, if she does, your kids will attend the same school district as they were.

We will have joint managerial custody, 50/50 time with kids, but she will have possessive conservatorship...ie their address is hers. Reason this will become a problem is that she will likely want to move to another city to be closer to her family. Unless I prove that this will be devastating to my kids lives, the court will grant it. If I am possessive, then she can move but would have to also gain possessive to take the kids with her.
