Of course you have to live near your ex souse -- probably in the same school district for this to work. And you have to remain on civil terms.

I have several friends who have come to this arrangement. The difference between their situations and mine? In their divorces both parties were mature enough to put the child first. My wife failed Maturity 101.

My wife failed Maturity 101.

Sounds like it, and you have my sincerest sympathies. Go for full custody and make her pay child support.
