I talked a lot with Little Man before I went to court.
I knew his wishes. He wanted to be with his dad more.
And I agreed to them.
As it stood, me and my ex had joint custody where it was 55/45%. I had Little Man 55% and he had him 45%.
We switched it.
Except for when my ex goes out of town (like he will be doing in 6 weeks for 9 months for the military).
I know it is what Little Man wanted and I know it will all work out fine (probably better) but it still isn't easy on me.
I won't have to pay child support and everything else stays the same (he will still pay 100% medical...).
So there ya have it. After they lied and drug me through the mud, I still did what my Little Man wanted. Wasn't easy to be the bigger person. Never is.

Im sorry you had to go through this. Not having ever been in this situation I can only empathize. But you are right, you were the bigger person and you can be proud of that
:(
I'm sorry you had to endure that. It could not have been easy.
It's not easy to be the bigger person, but much more rewarding in the end. I'm glad everything worked out and you don't have to go back to court! Hopefully you can enjoy a nice relaxing weekend now, free of all that stress!
Families are so complicated, aren't they? I'm glad things worked out, and LM will appreciate you even more when he gets older and understands how hard it is to be the bigger person sometimes.
Sounds like it will all work out in the end. Exhausting as it was for you - glad to hear you came out the other side in one piece.
Ex's are usually ex's for a reason.
After all that and you still did what you knew what was best for your Little Man. It's too bad tht your ex couldn't have simply talked to you about it and saved you both some money.
Sounds like quite the ordeal! I agree w/ Carrin, it's too bad he couldn't have just done it outside of court! Glad it's over and it all worked out in the end.
You did what was right for your boy and he will remember that and know that one day when he is older. And now too, but you know what I mean.
I know it's hard, but being the bigger person is always best for the kiddos. You are a good example to him. :)
