However, half is not fair to her. Fair would be if she has my daughter more than I have her. And fair would mean that I give up extra time so my ex has time to take my daughther to see her grandparents more often. It's fucking bullshit and nothing short of bullshit.

Ask the court for a Guardian ad litem. This would entail taking your daughter to a child therapist that would then testify to the court how the CHILD should be represented.

Usually they ask to see the child on a few occassions - once brought by each parent, then separately if other children are involved in the home(s).

My ex and I have shared custody. I don't like him [if I did we would probably still be married]. But, he is important my daughters. I wouldn't rob THEM of that.
