All this stuff just sucks.
I know Niave isn't around right now, but please allow ME to take a stab at this.
Shared physical custody= zero child support. What a prince.
It does suck.
A lawyer told me I needed a legal paper trail (had tons of medical stuff/apparently inadmissible? IDK) to help present my case. IOW, DUI's, wrecked cars, PI's etc.. Of course I was/am a man, in Texas, so YMMV.
In general, I would say MOST alcoholics DO NOT get shared custody. Mine, got supervised visitation.
Thanks and God bless us all,
