Child custody help

I am soon to be seperated but am looking at what will realistically happen with child custody. I have two kids a dd of 5 and a ds of 3. I have looked after kids all the time while partner works, I know he will kick off and wsnt to control everything, as will his family (I've seen them in action). I believe he will go to court and try and get 50/50 custody, will he be awarded this.... I wanted to suggest every other weekend and one evening/max 2 a week. Which scenario is most likely?

I think every other weekend and one day in the week is standard

No one whose advice is worth following would be able to advise based on the scant information in your initial post. You need to sit down with a solicitor and get some face to face advice. See who offers a fixed fee initial interview near where you live.
