In an Inquirer article "A child custody guide for the single dad", Richard Cepeda Go had a thorough list of options for separated couples on how to share time with their child/ren.
First off, legal custody (involving decisions for their welfare) is differentiated from physical custody.
Under these categories, there could be primary or sole/complete custody, with "the noncustodial parent given limited access to the children."
Alternating custody divides the offsprings' year or week between the two exes' homes.
Joint custody (of author's experience) is more equitable. It is usual that one parent's "home becomes the primary residence, " especially if nearer the child/ren's school.
Split custody imposes separation also between/among the children, who are also allowed to see their absentee parent.
Bird's nest is not nido soup. Here, the child/ren stay put, while the parents take turns to visit. Like the soup, this has consistency for the kids, at least of abode and school travel.
Serial custody gives one spouse legal/physical custody, then hands them to the other spouse after some years. Consideration is made for children to be with same -sex parent during their teens. The other spouse has continued visitation rights.
Third party custody could involve grandparents or aunts/uncles when parents are deemed unfit by the court.
Combinations of the above are likewise plausible or feasible. Mediators can offer these samplers in the buffet of parenthood.
