So my ex has finally agreed to mediation. I need to prep on what to ask for as he wants 50/50. But I won't let him have the kids all the 15 days he isn't working as that means he gets them on all his days off. I could be working most the days I have them as I work full time.
He has confirmed he will bid for 3 day flights each month in this new job but there is no guarantee he will get these flights. If he does it will be 3 days out the country, 3 days back. But the first day back he lands in the morning so if this is a weekend, he flys through the night working and gets home around 8-9am. Not sure he could have the kids with no sleep. Before he would go to bed from 8-9 until about 12 or 1 pm.
Also His third day off, if his flights check in Time the next morning is before 9:30 am, then he can't use breakfast clubs as they wont be open, so the kids would have to stay with me the night before, making his third day off, my day to have the kids, as well as the next 3 days his flys. So In that 6 day period, it's 4 days me and 2 him. Should I be saying I want more custody and not 50/50. I work 40 hours a week and Can be there fore the kids 24/7. He will be on a plane 10-12 times a month at 10 hours a time meaning he is unreachable 100 hours of the month.
Do I just say I want full custody and we'll work his Rita around the kids. Otherwise a 3 day on off rota means they change houses 11 times a month and the patterns will be 2, 3 and 4 days all different each week. This doesn't take in to account plane delays etc.
