But i thought if you are guys are in the same town, it should be a 50/50 arrangement right? I guess the problems come only if big distances are involved.
I wouldn't be so quick to assume this, as it's very dependent upon what the laws are in your state.
If you can work out an agreement you are both happy with, that's the best choice, because you never know what the courts will give you.
Example - I live in a state that is *very* prone to favouring the mother. Although H lives 3 blocks away, if we were unable to come to an agreement and we wound up in court, I already know what he would get - he would get every other weekend and one dinner per week. Period.
That's due to the age of our child, the fact that I'm the demonstrable "primary caregiver", and the fact that I live in the child's "familial home". Your situation may vary, but I wouldn't just assume, "I live near her so I'd get 50/50" - best to make sure you understand your rights and what you can reasonable expect from a worst-case scenario (such as court).
