My husband and I are separating amicably and he's moving out soon. We want to try to make 50/50 custody of our DD(7) work but could do with a little advice/examples of how others do it.
At the moment, we alternate the days we do bedtime and I was thinking along the lines of continuing that: I have her Monday and Wednesday, he has her Tuesday and Thursday then we alternate Friday - Sunday. The pros to this is that it follows the system she's already used to and she doesn't have to be away from either of us for longer than 4 days, but I'm worried that it will be too much to-ing and fro-ing for her.
If you have any experience of successful 50/50 custody arrangements please could you give us some advice, this is going to be very hard for her and we want to make sure we have a good, consistent arrangement to try and ease some of the difficulty.
