the judge will make a decsion that is best for the child but will probably let one parent get full custody and let the other parent visit the child. What could happen is that the court will award Joint Legal Custody to both parents - when that is elected, both parents must be involved in all legal matters (education, moving, etc.) and agree on those things. Unfortunately, one or the other parent has to be given Primary Custody and the other gets Visitation rights.
