I'm not sure what we're going to do for custody right now. I'm kinda fUcked because of my work/school schedule. I can't quit my job, and I can't quit school either.
A joint arrangement seems best, because she's going back to live with her parents until she gets on her feet, at which point, I told her we could talk. I let her know that she needs to keep a job for six months before I'd consider taking her back.
It's not so bad, really. I'm actually happier now that I know there is some sort of resolution. We may get back together later, or we may not, either way I wish her the best, and will do what I can to help her out, and make sure that our kids have everything they need, and enough of what they want that they can enjoy their childhood.
And no Katie, I'm not bitter, just realistic. I really hope that she figures out what she wants out of life and goes for it. She just needs a little more discipline than she has right now. She'll get there. I just can't wait, and have her attempting to boss me around while she watches t.v.
Whatever you do, get it in writing. If she is going to be home with her parents and your kids full-time, then it's presumed that she is the primary caretaker, at which point, she can file for child-support.
