It used to be that Dads generally got the kids every second weekend, and maybe a weeknight in between. I think there has been a move away from that, where the starting point is some version of 50/50, and it is adjusted from there based on circumstances and the best interests of the children. It is likely an infant that is breast feeding would be mainly with mom. Once a child is over 14, they have a greater say in where they live. Child support is reduced once you have the child more than 40% of the time.

The research shows that children of divorce do as well as other children, when they have maximum contact with both parents.
