So getting primary physical custody is not impossible, but its not easy either. You have to be able to show that your co-parent is unable, unwilling, or unfit to care for your son for at least 146 days out of the year. Factors regarding extended family are less important (though they will be considered.)
The legal custody is also 50-50. My lawyer explained it to me multiple times that getting sole legal custody is very difficult unless there are extenuating circumstances where the other parent has a history of violent crimes, crimes against children,and a number of other very serious things.
Disagreements between parents over health, education, or religious upbringing can lead to fearsome custody battleseven between the most well-meaning parents. The solid convictions and intense emotions that individuals may have can occasionally result in making unwise choices that can ultimately hurt a custody case.
What determines an unfit parent in PA? Typically, an unfit parent in Pennsylvania is one who has substance abuse problems, severe and untreated mental health issues, and/or a record of domestic abuse.
Legal Requirements for 50/50 Custody in Pennsylvania While there is no presumption for a 50/50 custody arrangement, it can be awarded by a court or included in a negotiated settlement agreement. However, a court must determine a 50/50 custody schedule is in the childs best interest.
