I am a 35 year old man with 2 children and I am going through a divorce... To make things smooth we have a mediator - Joint custody - with quite a bit for child support. I have a question for those who might have done what I want to try... How easy/hard is it to get full custody after the divorce is final?
My wife (soon to be -ex-) has worked nights for 3 years and refuses to change to days. I spend every night with my kids - which is more time in one night than my wife spends with them in 4 days (awake that is)... She wants to continue this after the divorce. I love my kids - don't want the big trouble with the divorce - but think that I'm going to get screwed... Any thoughts? Parker

Re : Query regarding custody
It sounds like you think you have a reasonable basis to file for sole custody, although, it will be difficult. If your wife works nights, than you should demand nothing less than being the residential custodial parent and you should not agree to outrageous support if you are spending that much time with the kids. (Although states have different guidelines for such things)
If you want full custody, you will need to pursue it before agreeing to joint custody. If you don't fight for what you want, you will get screwed. If you agree to joing custody, and support, your ex will surely find a way to diminish your time with your kids. Take control, and make HER be the one to negotiate.
