The overriding concern in all time-sharing (custody) arrangements is the child’s best interest. Obviously, a stay-at-home parent is going to be more available to spend time with the child, but that doesn’t mean that the parent who is working can’t also have time with the child. There is no presumption of fifty-fifty time-sharing, though equal time is generally viewed as the starting point. A parent who has not traditionally spent half of the time with the child during the intact marriage is not suddenly going to receive half of the time with the child post-divorce. For example, if one spouse’s job involves a lot of travel and they’re only home a few nights a week during the month, they’re not in a position to have the child 50% of the time.
One of the considerations will always be: “Can the parent be with the child when it is their time to have the child?” I don’t want to say it’s a matter of one parent having an advantage over the other; it’s just a factor in what’s considered to be the child’s best interest, which includes maximizing time spent directly with the parent and avoiding the need to leave the child with babysitters or other caregivers who are not the parent.
