[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have my kids about 90% of the time.  It was written that way in the MSA and stamped into the divorce decree.  
Dad agreed so no one else said anything about it. Sharing to say, yes, VA assumes 50/50, but if both parties agree - the court accepts it.[/quote]

Similar.  XH proposed it, so it wasn't an issue.  And seconding that the court does agree with whatever the parties agree to in the MSA.  However I was mindful of the fact that if he did decide he wanted more time and we couldn't agree, he'd be awarded up to 50%.

There needs to be an exceptionally compelling reason for the court to deviate significantly if one parent is asking for 50/50 and "I did all the parenting before" is not going to do it.

The best way forward is for them to come to agreement on custody that will actually work for the parents and kids so it isn't in the hands of the judge.  Even if there are other things that are ultimately decided by the court, they can agree to a custody split on their own for inclusion in the final ruling.[/quote]
