I love this movie so much but Nick and Elizabeth had shitty fucking lawyers. WHO COMES UP WITH A CUSTODY ARRANGEMENT LIKE THAT AND THINKS IT'S A GOOD IDEA?

Yeah, that struck me too. How on earth did they persuade the judge who was handling the custody agreements to agree to that one?

"There's no rule on the books that says a dog can't play basketball a custody agreement can't work that way!"

It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, so I don't remember if they stated it was the parents' agreement or not. I agree completely that it's an asinine way of doing a custody arrangement, but sometimes it's not up to the lawyers/judges. If the divorcing couple agree on the terms of a divorce, the judge basically just confirms it as an order. The lawyers are to represent the wishes of their clients, sometimes regardless of how ridiculous they're being.

Actually, David Tutera (a minor reality TV host) and his ex-husband are doing this with their twins (although I'm assuming they'll actually know the other exists). There is the added wrinkle that each man is keeping the child with his own DNA - they'd split by the time the surrogate gave birth. But it caused some ripples when they announced it, since everyone pretty much agrees that it's ridiculous. Even Tutera's ex, honestly, from what the interviews sound like. It's just a sad situation.

Ugh, the David Tutera situation is disgusting and I can't believe how selfish and petty he and his ex-husband are acting. Completely forgot about it until you mentioned something.

I have been saying that for years! It is basically a commodification of their children, dividing them as they would with their possessions. Not to mention, both parents had to agree to never see one of their children again, AND the kids were each kept in the dark about the existence of her IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER.

Blame Erich Kästner. It was his idea.
