A physical custody case study where the marital home had to be sold.
Tammy and Seth had a son aged sixteen and a daughter of twelve. Tammy worked in a daytime job from which was off at approximately four thirty, while Seth had a job which occupied him for many hours but he could be flexible with his schedule. The couple realized that they could not manage to keep up their marital home after the divorce and it was placed on the market. Neither parent wanted to limit their contact with the children and the children were old enough and verbal enough about their wishes to make it clear that they wanted to be able to have contact with both parents. They also wanted to remain in contact with their friends.
Tammy and Seth decided that after the marital home was sold Tammy would rent an apartment near the marital home and Seth would reside about forty-five minutes away. They agreed that the children would establish a home base with Tammy but that anytime they wished they could spend weekends with their father. During long school holidays including the summer, the children would spend the majority of the time with their father. Seth agreed to curtail his work schedule during those periods.
