Given that the court has broad discretion to order any custody schedule the court finds to be "in the best interests of the minor child," there is a great deal of guessing in predicting a custody hearing outcome even with all the facts and information available when representing a party. Given that you have not provided even a single detail about the case, I could flip a coin and be as accurate as anything I could tell you based on your question as asked.
