Maybe i just an old cynic but why would she agree to 50/50!....I mean for one thing that'd mean she'd be getting less maintenance....oh and then you'd be getting what you want.
Here's some info on writing statements, and a template.

Here's my thought,
If proximity between homes allows, and I assume it does in being happy to have your child with you midweek overnight and taken to school once school starts, then perhaps, your 'plan b' proposal might be to extend the alternate weekend to include Sunday night and child taken to school on Monday morning.
Whether you feel strongly enough to pursue 50/50 and the reasons for doing so is a matter for you. However, if you change your mind in pursuing 50/50 and might be content with 5 nights in 14 then it seems to be a very reasonable and realistic proposal. Your child will already be under your care during the weekend, so it is hard to argue against such an extension of the stay, unless it is not practical in terms of geography, hours of work, etc.
