Newcomer, want to keep my hope alive!

I have not been around much this past week or so, limiting my posts, but I have been contemplating looking at asking for Joint physical custody of my d8.

From any guys on here, is this even an option? My work is flexible enough where I could work from home one day a week, and be late, etc on another day or so to drop off d8 at STBXW or school so I could expand through the weekend into a couple days a week with d8.

I would be able to spend more time with d8, and as and added bonus, I believe I would be afforded better financial protection if I do, and better able to be financially viable to support d8 when I have her.

I'd like some of your thoughts on this, and why I WOULDN'T want to pursue this. It's not about being vindictive to my STBXW either, as I fully expect to have to pay something to her, even if we have joint physical custody, but about the best me that I can make for d8.

My state of MA seems to indicated in the laws (And I'll have to discuss with L) that they would consider joint physical custody as an option, without bias to one or the other spouse.
