Either spouse can ask for more than 50% custody, and for a variety of reasons. There is no generic answer. If your spouse is trying to get more custody, you should consult with an attorney with regard to your specific situation.

Sure they can. They may even be able to get 100%, but the determination of the percentage shared by each parent needs to be addressed through the court and is dependent on many factors. The answer to your question is actually very complex and really cannot be answered on this forum. You should contact a family law attorney and discuss your situation in detail and they should be able to provide you with a better idea of what percentage each parent may be awarded.
