yes, in most states now they do not give sole custody to one parent it is joint custody with physical custody to the parent the child lives with the majority of the time. You may also have to do a parenting plan which is a courts decision to grant on how the time will be divided who they will live with and who pays child support.
Answer
This should never be a contest for the best parent, the most time, save child support, or any other nonsense. Don't lose sight of the overall goal, which is for parents to create a stable life for the child with balanced relationships. As they get older children have friends and school activities they are most interested in. In my experience, the best thing divorced parents can do for their children is to develop a amicable relationship, including honesty and integrity, in their parenting style. I am not saying it is easy, but if you start out acting "as if," it will happen. (I did it; had a wonderful experience 15 years later at child's wedding)

What percent of women win child custody cases?
That's interpretive as there are four levels of custody. Sole Custody Joint Legal with Primary Residential Joint Physical Custody Bird Nest Custody Fathers with primary or sole custody runs 15%. Joint physical custody runs 25% Mother with primary or sole custody is 60% But, single mothers have sole custody by default in 100% of the cases until ruled on otherwise by the courts. Also, attorneys tell fathers not to try for custody as they don't win, and most attorneys that do try are not fully capable of representing fathers, so the mothers win. In the cases where fathers do challenge for custody, 60% of them will be accused of child sexual abuse as a tactic by the mother to prevent him getting it, but even when successful, they can still lose as 30% of them learn they are not the father of one or more of the children. If he does win custody, he can than be accused of domestic violence committed some time in the previous 12 months, as which point an injunction stops him from getting the child until he can prove himself innocent. If he does prove himself innocent, or it was found that he defended himself when she attacked him, then he cannot have custody because that's still considered domestic violence against the mother.
