ALABAMA Part 7

The decisions about where your children will spend the majority of their time are difficult ones.  Remember, even 50/50 custody is not always equal.  There are certainly days that are more meaningful than others, such as holidays and birthdays.  Don’t forget those considerations when determining a plan for your family.  But having an ad hoc custody arrangement that changes often is usually not in your children’s best interests.  Keeping them on a schedule can help them adjust to life after the divorce and to keep them involved in both parent’s lives.  Remember also that the plan you think is best for you now may not be the best plan years down the road. Consider how you will handle your children’s time as they grow and their schedules and activities change. .
