You’ve heard the story. “Oh, my ex and I, we had an amicable divorce. We’re still good friends.”

Your eyes roll. “Yeah, right, get real”, you think silently. How could anyone really feel that way?

Husband and Wife divorce.

Husband gets the marital residence (House).

Husband gets Girlfriend.

Girlfriend moves in with Husband.

Girlfriends helps out with Boy and Girl during Husband’s timesharing.

Oh … and Wife lives in a little apartment built on to the House.

And Husband, Wife and Girlfriend divvy up child care responsibilities and cooking up family meals which … they all eat together.
