My trips are usually a minimum of 1 month up to a max of 8. I got to take the family to CA for 8 months several years ago and it was awesome. This last trip was "short" where I spend 6 weeks there. My Japan trips were both about 4 months long. It worked great when W could just take the summer off and bring the kids, but can't work with split custody.
Those durations are certainly more of a challenge, especially with a young daughter - I was thinking a week at a time - but also have to imagine similar situations have come up before. E.g., Military deployments, pro sports...etc. Do some research online to see how people handle it. There may even be case law which addresses it.
