Getting very close to pulling the trigger. Several days ago we had another incident in the house where my (53M) spouse (51F) behaved very poorly towards our teen and did not apologize.

I've been planning on pursuing 50:50 custody and our state defaults to that barring severe stuff. My wife is verbally emotionally abusive and manipulative, and completely unaccountable for her behavior.

For those who are the steady parent, when your teen approaches you and says "I really want to spend more time at your place, and less time with the other parent" and your agreement says 50:50, how do you handle that? I feel like this could be coming.

Thanks!
