One of the main topics of discussion during a divorce with minor children is timesharing. Thereby, timesharing is one of the main topics of discussion during the initial consult and the divorce process. Various questions may arise and your answers important. Do you want to have equal timesharing with the minor children, or is this a viable option? Will every other weekend timesharing schedule work better for your family? Do you know how much time you currently spend with your minor children? Are your children resilient enough to handle week on week of between the parents? If not and you are thinking about divorce, then you may want to consider making notes on your personal calendar.
Whether or not you are currently living together or separated, notations on a calendar can prove to be helpful down the road. When making notes on timesharing, consider whether or not you are the one who picks your child(ren) up from soccer practice, or does your spouse? Do you typically wake them up in the morning and get them to school? Who primarily picks them up from school in the afternoons? All of these notes can easily be jotted down on your personal calendar each day. This way, if you do decide to take that next step, your notes are available and can easily be referred to during the process of determining a timesharing schedule. Really try to put yourself in your children’s shoes when making these decisons.
