In Finland lawyers do not fight for their clients like in American TV series.
Here their primary task is to uphold the law.
And family law doesn't pay much so they are not very motivated either.
As a result you'll see them floating around the average solutions.
Although there are exceptions. Unfortunately if you know a good one, it is far from sure he/she will be assigned the case if you contact the firm.

I'm sorry I do not have direct suggestions... The only law related service I know is this free-of-charge legal advice:
http://www.asianajajaliitto.fi/asianajo ... apaivystys
Maybe you could use this to get a primary advice and maybe they can also suggest a lawyer.
Hope this is useful to you

once a week from Tuesday afternoon from kindergarten to the next morning and every other weekend from Saturday 11.00 to Sunday 18.00 (one night).
That is pretty much an average solution. If you want more you need a few good arguments in court (not just I want to see her more).
You might negotiate a lower frequency with longer stays.
For holidays it is normal to get the child every other holiday (or something comparable to that).
one last thing,how is it possible to get joined custody in court, even when the parents are not in good relationship?
Joint custody is standard unless you wave your rights or you're mentally ill and the court decides it is better you do not make decisions for your child.

is it possible to make the meetings deeper and to add one more night to the weekend she is with me?
are they any studies that say that it is OK for the child to be with the Father 2 nights (maybe more in summer Holiday)?
the child is 2.8 years old...

In Finland women are more equal than men in some cases. As you can see.

More and longer visitations are possible, but I would say they are not probable.

Dunno about kid that young, but I thought the holidays would be divided too: this christmas mother, next father, etc.

If you don't have joint custody then only one of you could choose to move with the kid, or at least I think so.

With young children it is often advisable to have less frequent but longer stays especially if the parents don't live in the same town and there is traveling involved.
we have also to develops her language skills both Finnish (here Mother) and Hebrew.
The language skills will be mainly developed by the surroundings (friends, school). It is an illusion to think that a few days every other week are enough to master a strange language.
about Holidays (Summer,Xmas,Easter and so on..) you say that it it common to to share them each year with the other parent?
yes, unless there are practical reasons to make different arrangements.
