Do judges favor joint custody? I just started working full time last August. Before that I only worked every other weekend while picking up a few hrs when I could and before that for years I only worked every other weekend because our son has autism, possible bipolar and a lot of behavioral issues so I stayed home with him and our other son. My husband is a CPA and half the year worked all day and evening. I can work now since our autistic son is now living in a group home. I am with our other son a lot more than his father is. My husband still works at least 11 hrs a day or more even when it's not tax season since he now works for a private company. I actually work 8 days every two weeks because that's considered full time where I work and there are no 10 day openings and are hard to get. It just doesn't make any sense to me for him to have joint custody when he's home so little.

I can't answer your question but I can advise you to be careful with that line of thought. He's working those hours to support his family and if you argue that he shouldn't be allowed equal time because of it, he could manage to cut his hours, thereby cutting your income. I'm not unfavorable of him doing that, but you may be. I'm not trying to be mean, but if I was this judge, I'd give him more custody due to the appearance of you trying to limit his time.

mncourts.gov/selfhelp <------ I got this from this website.
Types of Child Custody in Minnesota
Under Minnesota law, there are two types of child custody.
"Legal custody" refers to the right to make decisions about how to raise the child, including decisions about education, health care, and religious training.
"Physical Custody" refers to the right to make decisions about the routine day-to-day activities of the child and where the child lives.
Depending on several factors, parents may share custody, which is often called "joint" physical and/or legal custody. Or, one of them may have "sole" physical and/or legal custody. NOTE: The custody arrangement could be different for each child in a family.
"Joint legal custody" means that both parents share the responsibility for making decisions regarding how to raise the child, including the right to participate in major decisions about the child's education, health care, and religious training.
"Joint physical custody" means that the routine daily care and control and the residence of the child is structured between both of the parents.
So what kind of custody are you referring?
