[quote=Anonymous]I live in a state that default is 50/50. I have sought legal advice but I'd also like to hear real world experiences because the few lawyers I consulted were a bit all over the place. Does anyone have experience negotiating via settlement/mediation or receiving in court something greater than 50 percent (but less than 100--not asking about situations where the other spouse is entirely unsuitable) in the following scenarios which reflect the status quo pre-split: A. Spouse A is primary caregiver (and handles all things related to schooling, doctors appointments, camps, child-related household management), both Spouses work, and Spouse A has the more flexible work schedule. B. Spouse A is primary caregiver and Spouse B often works late nights or frequently travels for work. (Average number of bedtimes Spouse B attends per week is 2, and does not participate in the morning routine). C. Spouse A is primary caregiver and Spouse B chooses to come home after bedtime most nights because of work-related (optional) social outings, spending time with friends, potential affair, and generally preferring to outsource chunks of weekend time and bedtime to Spouse A or a babysitter. The difference between B and C is to understand whether the purpose of a Spouse's physical absence from parenting is relevant (job requirements vs. social/lifestyle choices). [/quote]
