I have to assume by the question, that the author is asking about who generally receives custody of a child. Forgive me if I have misinterpreted your question.

Custody of a child is determined in most jurisdictions by what situation is in the child's best interests.

Most experts agree that plenty of contact with both parents is essential for the health and well being of children. Then, within this context, the court or custody evaluator has to decide how much contact with each parent is appropriate.

Some children thrive on a 50/50 timeshare. They enjoy both parents and often have a sense of fairness when the timeshare is equal.

Other children require a home base. They need of stability and security of one home. In this scenario, one parent is the primary custodian and the other parent should have regular and frequent contact. The frequency and length of the contact generally varies based upon the age and maturity of the child.
