In real life 99% of the time custody of children is given to the birth mother only with fair visitation rights to the father if they are around. So called Co Parenting is a Hollywood rich person myth. Even in that situation the birth mother will have the lions share of physical custody. It’s just the way it is.
here in my neighborhood, mother of two (8 and 10 years at that time) got very ugly / violent divorce, got joint custody of kids - 11 months later gave up her custody to keep her kids sane.. they were so disturbed by the schedule like one week in this house and one week in other parent house... were not able to settle in any house ...affected their study/development never felt home at any house.
Next year in follow up at the legal office, kids demanded to stay with mother, and they allowed mom full custody after... now they are highschoolers - really bright and lovely kids!
