Default Shared Custody?

Those types of questions are based on the false assumption parenting time
and money can somehow be viewed as equalizers. CS money is for providing
the care and maintenance of minor children. Parenting time is used for
developing social skills, stretching individual limits, becoming
self-confident, learning teamwork, encouraging academic achievement, etc.

Quite frankly, children learn those lifestyle skills from their fathers so
the more time they spend with their fathers the better. If a father pays
a
little less CS because he has increased parenting time that is a good
thing
because of what the children receive form the time with their fathers.
CS
calculations are based on one parent having the children 100% of the time.
When the other parent has more time with the children it is only
reasonable
that the CS amount be adjusted.

Well, it's reasonable to reasonable people.
