Of course you can ask your lawyer to fight for 50-50 physical custody of your child. While the mother of the child may claim that she needs to have the child the majority of the time because she is breast feeding, in recent years the family law courts are doing all that they can to divide time with children equally among parents. There are many other factors involved in this decision and the court decides based upon what it believes is in the “best interest” of your child. If you live relatively close to your former spouse and if both of you can devote quality time to your child then you can make a strong argument that you should share 50-50 physical custody of your child.
