What do I need to do to ensure I have my children 3 days a week?

Questioner

I have been working irregular shifts (24/7 schedule) since the beginning of our relationship almost 16 years ago. I would like to have my children 3 days a week. How can I arrange this? Is it even possible? The children are 14 and 9 years old.

Lawyer

It is important that the children are not bothered too much by an irregular work schedule. After all, they have a right to care and stability. Your ex must also fit into your work schedule. The intended three days a week, you must discuss and agree with your ex. If that does not work, you can choose mediation together, or as a last resort via the court with your own lawyer.
