Who you might meet
-
School pickup, a sitter, and the week the children are with you will decide whether Thursday works. You can offer that constraint in a message without paying to send it. A membership opens the replies. Skip the autobiography. Anyone who calls your child baggage is done as a match.
-
State family law is not summarized here, because a wrong sentence about custody would be worse than silence. Do not bring a child to the first meeting, and do not treat that meeting as an audition for your household.
-
Divorced, separated, and never married are precise words. Use yours when you want to. Choose a place you can leave. Screening runs on messages. Ask the city before you agree a time.
What to say
-
Offer the constraint
The sitter's clock and the children's week are enough explanation for a time. The backstory can wait.
-
Adults at the first meeting
Do not bring a child along to watch. Keep it between adults, somewhere you can leave.
-
Ask the city
A custody week and a flight are two constraints. Name both if they are real.
