Custody of toddler
Going divorce process. We have 20 months old. Dad wants 50/50, I am a stay at home mom. What are the chance that will happen? Is it healthy for the child this young age? Or it would be better to work toward 50/50 by certain age?

that's not reasonable. no. it's not healthy for that baby.
California courts generally give 50/50 as long as parents do not have major issues (substance abuse, etc.) You are probably going to have to go back to work. But if both parents agree, then you can vary the custody.
It is healthy for kids to have both parents in their lives.
California courts are very much into 50-50. Also- you might have to return to work post divorce which means 50-50 could work well. It is harder than you might think raising a toddler without a partner- good luck!
