cared by their mothers. But now that’s been abolished in almost every state. And instead, the court looks at what’s called the best interest of the child standard. And each state has different factors set forth that the court’s going to look at and determine what’s the

children’s best interest. In most states nowadays, it’s a 50-50 time sharing schedule. So, they don’t favor either parent. They favor both, quite frankly. And they think it’s in the children’s best interest that both parents have as much time as possible.
