Example Plan 8
Each week, one parent will have the child for 2 days and then the other parent will have the child for 3 days; rotating off and on.
This example is for children 2-5 years old.
Time Schedule Example
Consider this plan if:
- Parents have cared for the child about equally
- Both now how to care for the child overnight
- Live close enough to each other that the child will not have long car trips between the homes
- Parents can communicate and cooperate with each other about the well-being of the child
Advantages
- Each parent has solid blocks of time with the kid
Disadvantages
- Inconsistent from week to week
- It may be confusing for the parents to follow and remember which days they are to care for the child
- Only rarely would a parent have a full weekend
- It might be hard to arrange extracurricular activities unless both parents commit to dropping off and picking up the child
