It sounds like, when you're ready to talk divorce, a mediator might help sort this out. My partner used one in her prior divorce because there were points of contention. It helps structure things. He'd say, "I want X custody schedule" and she'd say "I want Y custody schedule." and the mediator would say, "Well, if you don't agree, the court defaults to Z custody schedule." They could then decide if they wanted Z, a couple alternatives she suggested, or to come to another agreement. One plus of this process is my partner and her ex had extremely few heated face-to-face divorce discussions. Most took place over e-mail and were as simple as sending proposals and counter-proposals until they agreed or decided to go with Z.

Hopefully, you're not arguing about any of this. Yay for not giving away primary custody!
