Apologies if this is not in the right place, still a fairly new member. For long and complicated reasons, my DPs DCs have lived with a guardian for the past few years. They have virtually daily contact with him including overnights during the week and every weekend. Their mum can have supervised contact only but since moving away (different country) has telephone contact once a week. My DP now regrets not pushing for residency himself and we often talk about him going back to court. For clairty, there were no concerns about DP's parenting, exP would not support the children living with him but accepted the guardian. This also meant DP could continue working f/t to provide for the children. Would a court view residency with a parent preferable? We don't currently live together but are planning to.
