I'm going through a divorce. My wife and I have 2 children, 6 and 2 years old. My wife and I plan to keep living in the same city after the divorce. My wife wants the children to live with her, and for them to stay with me every other weekend and one evening per week. I want shared custody, ie for the children to live one week with my wife and then one week with me. I believe that this would be better for the children, as they would have full relationships with both parents. My wife is completely against shared custody, as she thinks it will be too disruptive and hard for the children to have to go back and forth between two residences.
Can you give me your viewpoint on whether joint custody (one week with mom, one week with dad) is best for the children, and why?
Thank you,
Steven
