[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

The logistical aspect is related to the fact that the other parent doesn’t have work flexibility with hours, whereas I do and can watch the kids whenever necessary. The other parent said they would simply ask me to watch the kids if they can’t do so during their parenting time.

There’s a lot of other evidence I’ve gathered that is unrelated to this that shows a pattern of inconsistency on the part of the other parent as well.[/quote]

This didn't matter at all in our case.  I'm the woman and my ex claimed he was unemployed and available to watch kid 100% of the time and asked for alimony and child support (I left him for many reasons including he cheated on me) and the right to keep the child everyday until 6 after school so I'd just pick up the kid after work, which would've meant the kid would sit around his crappy apartment on an ipad until I got off work.  Judge awarded us 50/50 custody, imputed income to him and made him pay 50% of the cost of the nanny to continue to provide child care because we had always had a nanny starting from 3 months after our child was born.  Eventually I was awarded closer to 90% custody because ex had many, many orders of contempt against him.  However, in our case, the judge seemed dead set on 50/50 custody out of the gate. [/quote]
