I have recently split with my partner. It was nasty a first but now it's amicable and we just want to do best by dd.
The ex has decided to relocate to live in the same town as me and dd (which means an extra hour commute for work). He is a dedicated father and I don't doubt is love for her.
He has mentioned joint custody and I don't know what to think.
Practically, it would be great as I'm starting uni in September but emotionally I'm unsure.
Dd stay with her dad every weekend already but he would like to have her for an additional night during the week.
I just feel like I'm failing as a mother if I was only to have her for 4 days and 5 nights a week.
So can joint custody actually work? Will it be the best thing for dd?
I'm so confused

Would you consider joint custody?
