I started a thread earlier with regards to my H and I separating. We are still in the very early stages of the process but I would appreciate any thought or links to decent info.
My H wants 50% shared residency with the dc. I believe that he is a fantastic father and has thus far been an equal parent and so should continue to be. The dc have a very close relationship with him so I have no qualms on that score.
I guess what I'm worried about is the impact on them as a result of living between two homes. We would make every effort to ensure that they very much felt at home in both houses (which will be within walking distance of each other), and we have agreed that it is also obviously best to maintain a degree of flexibility over it all.
Am I right in thinking that it really is best for them to have that equal relationship with their father even though is means having two home? I am really worried about how this will affect them in the long run. Any experiences or advice would be much appreciated.
Oh, they are 5 and 4 btw.
