Anyone successfully get more access?

Me ex and I have joint custody but not joint access (about 70/30 - her/me).
Anyone successfully "sue" for more access - I would like it to be at least
50/50.

Any advice... I am going to court since she will not "allow" me to have more
access.

I think it's possible to obtain more access with some caveats.
The primary reason both parents don't have 50% access is proximity
of residence. If you live near to each other, I see no reason and I don't
see that the court would also see a problem in having true 50% parenting
time with the child.

In my case, we have joint legal/physical custody but the mother moved about
115 miles away. My actual Parenting Time is about 25% due to this distance.
She did this before the birth of the child.

Unfortunately, the courts here (Calif.) allow the primary custodian to
move and as an indirect result, reduce access by the father (in the majority
of the cases) to their children.

So... I think you have a good chance if you live close to the child
and can demonstrate that there's no problem to the child in pursuing
the situation.

Here is a recent success story from our group.... www.5050custody.com

I just wanted to let you and everyone else in the NCFC, CPDF and CFF know
that I finally received shared custody of [boy's name deleted] starting on
Oct. 19th. I
hope you can pass this to the entire group. I would like to thank everyone
for the support and encouragement that I got from them. It took almost
three years but the fight was worth it. All you who know [boy's name
deleted] , know how precious he is to me. The best advice that I received
was NEVER QUIT! I
hope the rest of the group will always remember these two words. Thanks
again to all. I could not have held strong without your encouragement.

Yeah, right. True, thoough - since the kids will nearly always (90%) be
placed with mom, odds are that she will be living closer to them than
dad does. Funny how that works, isn't it? Like, if the kids were
placed with dad....HE would live closer to them. DUUHHHHHH.....

That distance is NOT what's cutting your parenting time. Move to the
same city and see if you have a hope in hell of having equal time.

She did this before the birth of the child.

Those rose-colored glasses help the pain in your ass much???? 'cause
they sure didn't do much to keep you from getting shafted.
