Almost 3 years after moving out I finally got the divorce finalized this morning! Everything went really fast in the courtroom because it was uncontested. Basically say yes and no a few times and you're done. For those interested in the "deal" I got with the ex:
6 month split (I get Jan-June, she gets the other 6 months)
When you don't have primary custody you get standard visitation (1,3,5 weekend) and Thursday nights after school until 8PM (to go to dinner or something).
We still split holidays like normal custody stuff (alternating Thanksgiving and Christmas, etc)
Even though the time is 50/50 they still require you to even out the salary differences and since I make 2 times what she does then I end up paying her the difference. Meaning instead of having me pay her the full 30% for 6 months and her pay me the full 30% for the other six months they just look at those two numbers and the difference goes to the poorer parent.
Kids have been basically on the visitation schedule anyways for the past 3 years so they aren't going to notice a difference in that regard.
I can officially call her my ex now.....and this is a good thing :) Open to any questions from others going through the process.
