Hi! I don't know the specifics about your situation and I'm not familiar with the law, but I am also from Mass. I know when we went to court, despite legal custody, we had to decide on who had PHYSICAL custody. He has to pay me CS because I have physical custody yet we have joint legal custody. My X doesn't have the kids as often as your stbx, but I'm not familiar with it. I'm sorry I'm not more help. Do you have a lawyer? I know he/she could help figure that out for you. Good luck and make sure you let us know how you make out.
