Relocation: 50/50 Custody - Ability to Spend Large Amounts of Time Out of State

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Wisconsin

My ex broke up with her child's father like 4 or 5 months ago and is in the middle of a custody fight right now. It seems likely he's going to just have supervised visitation, but I would imagine once he stops acting like a psychopath (he's threatening her/her friends, drinking alot, etc etc..) things will likely end up in a fairly normal 50/50 custody.

Long story but there is the possibility of us getting back together, however for the next 3-5 years I'm contracted to work out of state (Washington).

I know she can't easily just move out of state with 50/50 custody, so she can't move out here permanently (unless he does something really stupid anyway) ... My question is, what IS possible? I have the ability to live with her about half of the year, but I need to be out here the rest of the time... Is it possible her and her daughter could come out here with me for any length of time? Her job is flexible enough that she would have the ability to leave for 3-4 months of the year without that being an issue, but how is her daughter handled? It would be great if she could stay with with me for a few months (the longer the better! :) )

A couple things to note... One thing that may be an issue is, her ex is not able to deal with spending more than an hour or 2 with his daughter before he is overwhelmed... So making some sort of arrangement where her daughter would spend maybe a month with him, then a month with us in WA, or something like that will likely be a problem. I don't think he could handle having her for an extended period of time. Who knows, that could change as she gets older (she's 2 now), but for now it's definitely an issue.

On top of that, he doesn't like me at all, so getting him to agree to anything might be tricky.

If it matters, it is highly likely that she will be given the power to make all the decisions about her daughter (short of being able to decide on her own to move out of state of course! :) )..

Anyway, I'm just wondering what options/ideas ya'll might have. Obviously I want to spend as much time as possible with her and her daughter, just not sure what options (if any) there are.

Appreciate any advice you might have, thanks!
