I feel for your god daughter.  I have joint customdy with my ex and my duaghter goes one week with me and another week with him.  This is really hard on me, but she seems to love it.  She is 7 and we have been doing this since she was 4.  I hate having her gone for a week but I just have to think about her and her needs.  I have talked to several professionals about if this is really good idea for a kid, the answer I always seem to get is that it is different with every child and if we see behvorial problems then we would want to rethink the situation but at this time she is doing great.  It is the hardest thing for me the weeks she is gone, but when she is gone we talk pretty much every day.  The difference in my ex and your god daughters husband is that my ex has been there for her since she was born and has been a excellent father.  One thing that will have to happen if she decides to do this is there will have to be excellent communication or it will never work.
