Is it that difficult to ascertain who was a
child's historical primary caregiver, who is the
more competent parent, where the
child would be happier
spending the bulk of
time, whether Dad should have the additional overnight a week he wants, whether Mom really needs to relocate for her job, or — if the recommendation
probably is going to be some version of «joint custody» anyway — whether the parents» schedules and the
child's life work better on the 5 -5-3-3 plan or
with a rotating every other week schedule?
