Common Shared Parenting Time Schedules Part 4
In this last post about parenting time schedules, we’ll look at some common shared parenting time schedules. Here are three more to think about.
3-3-4-4 Schedule
In this schedule, the first parent has the children for 3 days, the second parent has the children for 3 days, the first parent has the children for 4 days and the second parent then has the children for 4 days. It basically splits the week in half.
2-2-5-5 Schedule
This is a similar schedule to the one above, except the rotation is 2-2-5-5. So, the first parent has the children 2 days, the second parent has the children 2 days, the first parent has the children 5 days, and the second parent has the children 5 days. The schedule can be started any day of the week so the parents have different days.
Ackerman Custody Schedule
In this schedule, the parents set up two different parenting time schedules in the year. They do this so that the parents still have about equal time with the children, but the children can have a more stable home life. For example, the parents will set up a schedule for the children during the school year where they live primarily with one parent. Then they have a summer and winter break schedule where the children live primarily with the other parent. These schedules can be set up using any of the schedules we’ve already shown.
