[quote=Anonymous]Legal custody is sole or joint. Physical custody is either primary or shared. Shared can be anywhere from 50/50 to 90 overnights and anywhere in between. If your lawyer hasn't explained that, get another one. What the judge orders depends on the facts of the case. some judges are philosophically opposed to a shared arrangement (usually older judges) and a parent aiming for that may have a harder time convincing the court. Some judges (especially those with younger children), may want to give both parents as much time as possible. You've got 15 different judges in Fairfax and 15 potentially different results on the same case. They all have to look at the same factors (and if your lawyer didn't mention the best interests statute section and show you those factors, get another one), but the results will still vary. So, yes, your lawyer either doesn't litigate cases or she is not being straight with you.[/quote]
