Sorry, but no, it doesn't count. She has him 63% of the time legally, but the vast majority of that time is spent with him in school or asleep, neither of which requires any effort.

The 37% of the time I have him is almost all full-time attention.

The state estimates that a custodial parent spends 72 hours more per year with the child than a non-custodial parent.

As for cooking...she has to eat anyway. It's not any extra effort. Buying clothes? We both do that.

He doesn't sleep when he is at your house on weekends? Odd.

"The state estimates that a custodial parent spends 72 hours more per year with the child than a non-custodial parent."

Depends on the parents and the age of the child. I divorced when my children were 5 and 6, they're now 17 and 18, and I can say that, over the course of the years, that "72 hours" is absolute bovine excrement.
