My BF has 50/50 custody & pays around $200/mo to his ex (plus the usual half of childcare, etc). He makes more than twice as much as her, so I'm surprised he doesn't have to pay more.

My real complaint is the 2-2-3 custody schedule they have, instead of 7-7. The child is constantly back & forth, and it's impossible to plan vacations. There's a metric ton of animosity & vitriol on her part, so there is zero flexibility.

2-2-3...wow...that's crazy

We run 7-7 with holidays spelled out in the divorce agreement. I kinda wish we went with 5-2 (weekdays w me), and Summers being in her favor because I am much more stringent on education than she is

Try a rotating 3-4 schedule.

That way you don't have to miss your kids for an entire week, you get 2 full weekends a month with them and still have time for your own life.

It helps if your ex is willing to work with you and discuss and handle things like adults.

I have a Sunday afternoon- Wednesday morning and every other Saturday schedule and it works out pretty well. I couldn't go a week without seeing my kids.
