No it has never happened to me... but I have been through it when I was younger. And at 22, I still remember how hard it was when I was that little.

I am lucky that I do not have to do the "exchange" even though the reasons why kinda suck....

She is lucky to have a caring Dad. That love will last her a lifetime.

My plan is set though. I will get a modification done with real representation. It's motivation to keep moving forward towards the ultimate goal, having her full time. Heh, she already told her mother she wants to live with me when she turns 12. And I didn't even tell her about that!

That makes me happy....and it has nothing to do with her mother.

Debbie,

The exchange is that special time on Sunday evening when you watch your child drive away from you for 2 weeks.

Hi Debbieflowerforyou ,

The "exchange" is referring to joint custody of a child. It's when the child lives with on parent part of the time, and the other the rest of the time. "Exchange" is the time when the child goes from one parent to the other.

And to everyone who has to go through this:

I have no children of my own, but I have nieces and nephews who are involved with joint custody. My heart goes out to all of you.
