Hi here
The contact schedule should be constructed with both parents in mind, she's far more likely to accept it if it works for her too. Try preparing a couple of different schedules with that in mind.
As far as maintenance is concerned, I very much doubt the court will get involved with that side of things, as the two issues are entirely separate in their view. If you have a true 50:50 split then you shouldn't be liable to,pay any maintenance, but some do because that's what's in the children's best interests. Leave her to bring t up in court, she will probably be told to sort it between you.
All the best
