How long have you had 50/50? What change of circumstance has there been to warrant a custody change? In what way will a change benefit your child?

You said he wants to change the schedule but you say you think she should be with you. Who is filing for a change? For what reason is he wanting to change the schedule? What is he wanting to change it to? How does he take advantage of you?

You have been too vauge to get much help, but here's a brief summary. If he is only wanting to change the schedule but keep 50/50 it will depend on his reasons. If it's work related he has a good chance. Family courts are reluctant to change custody unless there is a good reason and it is shown it's in the child's best interest. Because you don't think it's stable enough won't cut it. It will be up to the person who files to prove why the change is necessary. If you counter file for primary placement it will be up to you to show why he shouldn't have 50/50. Since you didn't say I'm going to assume this schedule has been status quo for awhile seeing as how you have been divorced long enough that you are both remarried.

My thought is that 50/50 won't be changed unless he consistantly doesn't use all of his parenting time or is neglectful or abusive or is planning to move out of the area. Things I'm going to guess aren't true because you say HE wants to change the schedule, not that you want primary because of the things I mentioned.

When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.
