I'm surprised that your lawyer thinks that rotating custody wouldn't be allowed by the judge. I've had two lawyers here in FL tell me that it's becoming more common b/c the children are actually better adjusted when they get see their parents on an equal basis. You may want to obtain a second opinion. My W and I have agreed to 50/50 rotating custody...that's the route we're going. I'm going to follow-up as well to make sure.
I think my lawyer told me this based upon the fact that my daughter has been living with me for a year now and that my wife has not exercised frequent visitation with her, etc. That coupled with the fact that we will probably move would make this type of arrangement logistically and financially difficult to impose.
