Its way more common than you think. I lived a few blocks from my exwife, same school district same bus. They had their own rooms at her house and at mine, and would alternate days/weekends. They loved it, got double of everything and all turned out fine.
And neither one of us had to pay the other any support since we both made roughly the same and both raised them equally. [Reply]

When I was growing up, I knew a girl whose parents were divorced, and they lived in different houses on the same cul de sac. I don't remember if they were next door, but there was one house between them at most. She'd just get off the school bus and wander into either house. [Reply]

Ps: courts have 0 emotion, they go off factual information and there is already a formula in place. It’s depends on income / debt / assets of both of you and amount of children.
She won’t bend you backwards on time with the kid nor money you owe because what she says doesn’t matter. [Reply]
He said he makes over 6 figures. ($999,999.00). Pays $1100 for support.
Maybe it is $9999.99 (never seen 6 figures "figured" that way) which would make the $1100 more realistic. [Reply]
