AIBU to question whether my ex really has 50 per cent care

[GreenOpalFruits]

My ex has dc for about 135 nights a year that includes 2 weeknights and 1 weekend s month (sometimes 6 weeks between weekends) he has 10 nights a month and tends to do some school holidays. Its a lot more than it used to be but ex claims he's doing 50%?

Basic maths- this isn’t 50/50

Is that for CMS purposes? Doesn’t sound like 50:50 to me. Is he looking at days (if only part of a day) that DC are at his and calculating it in that basis. Although my understanding is that CMS is worked out in number of nights

He can claim all he likes but that isn’t 50/50. He also needs to take full responsibility on his days for eg appointments, parties, expenses, clothing and toys at his house etc.

He pays cms and doesn't want to change that apparently. Its just he tells people he does 50/50

In reality he does 2 school nights, 1 in 5 to 6 weekends and about 4 weeks school hols

I hope he's not an accountant.

Surely people will realise he doesn’t do 50:50 when he doesn’t have DC with him very often

Yeah and I mean after school that's like 3.30pm to 7.30pm bed time. Not much is it ? I think he honestly has deluded himself here.

It's just the label for them. "I am an equal parent"
My ex is demanding "shared care" whole requesting only weekend and holiday time and having never contributed once to any of DSs regular care needs. He takes him to the seaside, park and on holiday, not the dentist, optician, doctor. But he demands to be seen as "equal" while not actually wanting to do the parenting that comes with being a proper parent.

Last half term he wanted him and then gave him to his partner to look after while he went to work
