This example is for children 3-18 years old.
Time Schedule Example
Consider this plan if:
- Both parents have a bond with the child
- Parenting skills of each parent are adequate, but where one parent has less available time that the other to devote to the child
- Parents have been successfully using plans similar to example plan 9 and example plan 10 for some time
Advantages
- Minimal parental face-to-face contact
- Consistency and predictability most weekdays
- Alternate, prolonged weekends is appealing in summer for short trips

- 6-day blocks everyother week when the child does not see the parent who has less parenting time
- Children may have difficulty on Monday at school after being away from the other parent for 4 days
