Agreement general

Let me start here by saying that my ex thought that I was going to roll over and not fight for custody. We had discussed how to handle things in the past when we had discussed divorce before and it had generally been agreed that I would keep the house and in exchange she would get custody with a very liberal visitation agreement for me.
There were certain things that had changed through the years and things that she had done that made me change my mind on that happening. I had spent more and more time with my son, to a point where I had become the primary care giver for him. When he woke in the morning, he didn't ask for mom, he asked for Dad. When he started to get out of bed on his own, he would walk around the bed and get me up rather than disturb her. When he did wake her, she told him to get me up. We would get up, have breakfast and be on with our day. A couple hours later she would get up and say she was ready to fix breakfast only to be told that we had already had ours.
She started running around with her girlfriends as my son and I sat home. Playing together and becoming closer.
When the papers were served shortly before Christmas new information started to come in on her behavior.
First was a string of phone calls that I received from "concerned parties" that told me that she intended to leave the area with my son so as to prevent me from seeing him. She thought that she could pull this off without problem since the courts here have always sided with the woman.
Second was a boyfriend that my son did not like.
After talking it over with my attorney, we decided that "Shared Parenting" gave me the best deal. And the best chance in court.
In general, I got the house and she got the bills (I negotiated the deal with her attorney while mine sat at my side). The boy would spend every other week in each other's home and there would be no child support because he was with each of us an equal amount of time. My son would always use my residence for his school address.
I wrote the custody agreement with my attorney. I was as fair as could be and made sure that all parties were in agreement on this including the grandparents. I wanted to make sure that everyone that had been a part of my son's life had a chance to still be in it.
I am finding out now that we broke some new ground with this agreement in the courts. Agreements of this type did not exist in 1995.
The full agreement is on the next page. I do have this on my computer so I can email it to you if you want or if you contact me I will fax or mail you a copy.
