Husband's pushing for 50% eventhough work won't allow it.

Without commenting on what I think the specific arrangements may end up being, some of the important points to keep in mind are that children's needs change as they age and develop. So, the children's bond with you may be sufficient to permit the 50% time in his care. What is important is his ability to care for the children and parent them. It is not so much about what time he has spent in the past, but he may offer for the children's upbringing into the future. If the reference to only being with them 2 to 3 hours a day is all he can arrange to spend with the children, then it will obviously be difficult for him to have them 50% of the time throughout the year. For all I know however he has limited his time around the house to minimize conflict as you have described between each of you. The converse to saying that the children should spend less than 50% time with their father or more limited time, is that the children are then expected to go more prolonged periods of time between visits with him, and that is not healthy either. Typically, if the children are less than 8 years of age or so then the primary residence regime as you describe makes sense in certain situations as then the children may develop a primary attachment to one parent. It doesn't sound as though he is around the house much, but enough for consistent conflict between each of you. However, as the children age they are definitely more capable of spending more time in the other parent's care and less time in the primary parent's care.
