STBXH has always been hands off with DC6, always working really long hours and just showing up for the fun stuff. I am the primary carer.

We are getting divorced and he is being a lot nastier in all this than I ever thought he could be, but that is for another thread.

STBXH is making a court application for 50/50, he won't even enter into negotiations. He wants one week on, one week off.

Is he likely to get this?

Just had a friend who's gone through similar although her ex was very hands up, no one else involved and my friend the one who decided to end the marriage due to reasons I won't share on here but neither party at fault just wrong match. Anyway he is self employed and it gone 50;50.... My friend gets no financial help and lost the house so back to renting with help from her mum. Financially it been hell and she misses her children half the time but she has been able to work more. he was and still is a very hands on Dad. On the time when he is working...self employed...his mum does pick up and fed tea but he comes back asap. My friend says it's working but he got the better deal as he gets sat all day and she gets half of sun until wed...they live close by so children still at same school... problems with pe kit at the wrong house etc has been sorted as pe kit at each house. Just sharing this to say it can work

Edited

Sounds like she got the better deal, she has every Saturday night to go out if she wants! 😁
