My spouse is gone 10 pm to 8 am (including travel time) Sunday through Thursday. We are separating and my spouse would like to have shared custody of our child (10).
I have no objection to it, but I'm having a hard time visualizing exactly how this would look. My spouse has proposed picking up our child at 8 am and me picking up our child at 6 pm after work during the week. We would alternate weekends from Friday night to Sunday night.
During the school year, my spouse would have our child for 1 hour in the morning and approximately 2 hours after school, as well as the alternate weekends. However, during summer holidays and other school holidays, my spouse would have our child for the entire day. Our child would spend every night with me except for my spouse's every other weekend.
Does this constitute shared custody? I believe my spouse is trying to get out of paying child support and, while I would support this arrangement, I don't believe it is actually shared custody.
I would appreciate any input/advice.
