re: Divorce Experience

Even if you get 50/50 custody….try to get your child at least one more day than your ex for the year.


Then that will qualify you to claim head of household on your taxes. My bf keeps strict track of his days with his kids partly for this reason.

He also only now communicates with his ex via email and only text if it’s urgent. That way if she tries to claim he agreed to something or said something he actually did not….he can easily pull up the emails, texts as proof. Document everything.

Every decision he made during his divorce (which she is the one that wanted it and filed) was about what was best for his kids. She wanted to force him to sell their house….he fought like hell to keep it and buy her out of it so his kids got to keep the house they have always known and at least have that piece of stability.
