It is an extremely rare situation where a 50-50 custody share is appropriate.The reason most parents that were not previously the primary caretaker of the child want 50-50 is for money reasons (either pay less child support or receive more). Unfortnatley, where I live, 50-50 is extremely common. Custody evaluators lie and twist facts to support a 50-50 outcome. I got the courage to leave an abusive relationship (verbal, emotional and psychological abuse) only to be stuck with a 50-50 custody share which means I continue to be subject to my ex's abuse. My ex is also verbally, emotionally and pschologically abusive to our children. A 50-50 custody share requires parents to have better and more frequent communication than most good marriages. You need to move clothes, school projects, and other items between two houses. The 50-50 share forces me to still be unofficially married to my ex and I still have to jump through hoops to make him happy for the sake of my kids.

I have 2 boys who have been doing the 50-50 back and forth shuffle for 7 years now. Older has never done well, Younger is more flexible. Now 12, Older is experiencing a tremendous amount of stress over this and has been diagnosed with major depression and anxiety.

From a deep level, this child is trying to tell us he can't live this way. I believe he is capable of understanding his own needs in this matter. He bravely advocates for one primary home, but other parent refuses. I believe the child's need to unify and simplify his own life outweighs the parent's demand that he "do time" in a second home.

she does not want to talk to me or see me
with increasing defiance over last year with increasing homework demands, lack of willings to help in house or call when going out
how can I get her back? I have sole custody.
her father's says if she does not want to see you then that is up to her

Applause........ You hit it on the spot! I totally agree and understand what your saying. I was never married but have 2 kids with someone I was in a relationship with for 10 years. I surely thought when I left the relationship I would be some what finish dealing with him. BOY WAS I WRONG! 50-50 isn't working for me either! We so need to exchange stories!!!
