Any advice for a new separated dad?
Long story short I got asked for a divorce I moved back into my father's house to help him out financially and tbh neither one of us can afford a divorce but we have agreed to just pick a day after i start my new job and go the courthouse and do everything for the divorce by ourselves we live in illinois and we have agreed to a custom custody plan of summers with me but she gets him alternating weekends during the summer and every other weekend with me during the rest of the year, with alternating winter and spring breaks and that we would keep ourselves from badmouthing each other with the kid, and that our debts are ours im not going for her home since she owned it before she met me. My main question is if anyone has any advice on how the courts would feel if we both agree to everything in our divorce or custody plan? Are they usually good about that? If i cannot get him for the summers and the courts will not agree to this then what should be my next course of action? Tbh my home i feel would be a safer environment for him and I have proof to back it up.
