[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He would very possibly get custody because he has been the stay-at-home-parent and therefore the courts would see him as the nurturing parent.[/quote]

This is not true in the District of Columbia. There's presumptive joint custody. Please don't give legal advice when you don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]

Well, I said what I said based on what a lawyer said, but not a DC lawyer.  So I do know what I'm talking about, but I should not have given the half-explanation that I did in a way that presumed it would apply to OP's circumstances.

In most, maybe all states, they *usually* award joint legal custody, but there can be exceptions, but from what OP has said I see no reason to think her case would be an exception.

What varies much more widely is how physical custody gets awarded.  50/50 is common in some places, while every-other-weekend is common in others.  The lawyer who made the comment I was referring to was a VA lawyer referring to physical custody, and it also was several years ago, so I can't even say for sure it is what is common now.[/quote]
