[quote]That's just your opinion. And honestly...how can you believe that 50/50 is not always best for kids (of course, not including the extreme cases already stated such as abuse). How can it not be in a childs best interest to spend at least 50% of the time with each parent? [/quote]

Because not every child's personality is suited to that type of arrangement. At the time of my divorce, 50/50 physical would have done serious harm to my youngest. And my ex was a parent who did spend time with them when he wasn't at work when we were together. He wasn't one of those who expected a child to be seen and not heard. But that doesn't change the fact that she couldn't have handled 50/50 at that time. I think she could handle closer to a 50/50 now that she is older and more emotionally mature, but his work schedule does not allow for it.

A child's ability to handle 50/50 should be given a strong consideration. They are the ones who are going to have to live with living in two separate households half the time. The parents don't, they get to live in one household 100% of the time.
