My ex wants to have 50/50 custody of our daughter...he has little to no involvement in her life...we were never married and our daughter is 1 year old...what are the chances that 50/50 will be awarded is it worth fighting since it's the public policy for both parent to have frequent contact with their child?

A: If he is not involved in the child's life then he has zero chance of getting 50/50.

Use of a lawyer is recommended.
