Hi - is there a standard test to determine this?

I get kids dressed in the morning, drop them off at school, pick them up from after school club. I also do their homework with them and bath them at weekends.

Wife is leaves for work early in the morning and goes to gym in evening.

So, we've started looking seriously at divorce. Is it a foregone conclusion that she'll be the primary caregiver? Any ideas?

Thanks

It's evidence of the nature of relationships which is important. When a parent stays at home or works part time to care for children they are the one who is primarily giving care. If both parents work fulltime and look after the children care is shared.
