custody change

Children tak time, money and a lot of patience regardless the age and if he has any new outside interests or friends he most likely is feeling the need for more "me" time to devote to them and build a new life.

During a divorce you fight for everything never knowing what your life will end up like.   For that reason, its nice you are flexible and open to keeping things evolving.    Also, if he reduces time spent further in the future I would question your support you're receiving since you will be asked to carry more and more of the financial burden of the everyday expenses (no longer equitably shared).      Just something to watch because teenagers are very expensive and eat a lot!

my childrens father started out that way but was only awarded every other weekend and one evening a week. he nit picked every holiday and school vacation but after awhile it got old taking care of them 100%. and teenagers are difficult even in the short term. count your blessings. if the kids want more it will be no problem if you agree. but you can' take anytime back unless he cooperates.

Well, it could be that he is listening to his children and how they feel if they voiced an opinion...if that is the case you two can work out a good co-parenting situation after the divorce is final.

 

How about we go with that for now until you learn otherwise...

Sad because he was a good Dad.  Very active and they love him very much.  I think he realized it would cost money to create another household.  The kids did not want two houses.  He lives 2 blocks away.  After everything I will tell him he can see them more if he wants too.  A little panicked because I really will be a single Mom.  I cannot think it is because of another woman.  I do not know who would want him, but there are a lot of desperate single women out there.
I wrote a resolution blog and I need to remember that the 1st one was stop analyzing!  Thanks Spaz!

Some fathers decide they would rather have a life of their own and not be saddled with children as much - possibly he met someone and wants his weekends free to date or travel...or maybe he is considering moving away...

only person who can answer why is him.

Can't say it is "standard" usually it goes the other way - fathers want more...assume from here on out he won't be very involved in the children's lives.
