Coparenting, or just babysitting?

Take all the time she is giving you and don’t complain.

Document everything. Consult an attorney.

Family courts are very often biased towards mothers and she will have a much easier time getting what she wants custody-wise than you will. You need to get ahead of any potential legal attacks against you.

If you are married and she’s seeing someone romantically you need to get evidence of that asap because that will prevent her from getting alimony.

But with an eye towards coparenting, this period of domestic upheaval is going to be very difficult and your perspectives are going to change drastically by the time all this is over, try really hard not to prevent your partner from handing you time with the kids even if it’s not fair, because once you aren’t living together and you are truly sharing custody, those first few weeks/months when the children aren’t with you are going to hurt and you’ll regret every time you pushed back on time given.
