While most Collaborative Divorce clients seek joint custody and equal or near time with their children, other options are possible so long as both parents agree. In some situations, there may be good reasons for an unequal share of residency time.
Nevertheless, if one parent strongly desires joint custody and a near-equal residency share, and the lawyers believe this to be a likely outcome in court, it may be difficult to wander too far from this standard in a Collaborative Divorce.
