I filed for divorce and did not offer joint custody. That is, I sought for full care and control of my children. Their father did not object and the judge did not comment. The judge asked him if he wanted to fix access days/times. He did not, claiming complicated work schedule. Can't even set aside a few hours on Sunday.
So now I have full care and control of my children and he sees them a few hours every 3-4 months if even that.
Kat is right though: the court IS very pro joint custody these days. But a lot also depends on what the father agrees to.
