You can refuse to agree to the dissolution terms and instead ask that the court decide, via divorce trial. You do have a reasonable position: that if someone other than your ex husband is going to take care of your children for those periods, you might as well be given custody during those times instead. I expect that the main reason he is asking for this is to reduce his child support instead of to provide for the best interests of the children.
