Who gets the CS?

BF and BM have complete joint custody. According to BF calendars he has two children 70 percent of the time. How do the courts determine who receives the CS in the case that someone files?

Um... how many kids total? The calendards won't matter as much as the actual court agreement on parenting time. Is it 50/50? Who pays childcare, medical insurance, etc?

no child care is paid. BF pays medical. Parenting time based on divorce agreement is one week on, one week off. Before anyone else is contacted to babysit children, bio parent must be contacted first, which ends up 70/30.

So it's a right of first refusal that gives BF more time? If so, then I highly doubt the court will consider the 70/30. It will use the 50/50. Does BF work? Does BM work? Are their incomes similar?
