Determination of physical custody rests on the principle of what is in the child's best interests. If the only reason father wants greater parenting time share to evade paying more support, his request would be denied. However, if father is trying to develop a more enriched relationship with the child by an increase in timeshare, the judge would have to determine if this parenting change suits the child's needs.
