          called “nonrevenue travel” at no expense on American Airlines and           
          for a nominal fee on other carriers.  Her commuting was                     
          occasionally subject to flight delays due to weather, air                   
          traffic, available seats, and other factors.  Ms. Kennedy also              
          utilized her nonrevenue ticket privilege to travel recreationally           
          and to purchase airline tickets for friends and family members.             
               As a general practice, Bianca and Alexa lived with their               
          mother when she was not working; when Ms. Kennedy was working,              
          they lived with petitioner.  Petitioner and Ms. Kennedy observed            
          this general practice as “the best thing for the kids.”  The                
          arrangement also afforded Ms. Kennedy the flexibility she needed            
          in her employment.  Because Ms. Kennedy’s work required overnight           
          travel, Bianca and Alexa often spent several consecutive days               
          during each month, including significant periods during the                 
          summer and on holidays, with petitioner or in his care.                     
               There were exceptions to the girls’ general practice of                
          living with their father when Ms. Kennedy was working and with              
          their mother when she was home.  On occasion, the girls spent               
          days or portions of days with petitioner, petitioner’s parents,             
          or other relatives even though Ms. Kennedy was not working, or              
          with relatives other than petitioner when Ms. Kennedy was                   
          working.  If petitioner was out of town when Ms. Kennedy left for           
          a trip, the girls stayed at petitioner’s home, where Ms. Zorb               
          cared for them.  Petitioner’s parents lived in Aberdeen, Ohio,
