In continuing to look at examples of parenting time schedules for your parenting agreement, we’re going to look at some common schedules where the parents have more equal time with the children.
Alternating Weeks
In this schedule, the parents simply alternate weeks with the children. You can choose what day to switch, and you can also alternate every two weeks.
Alternating Weeks with Mid-Week Visits

This schedule is the same as above, but each parent has a visit sometime during the week. The visit can be an overnight visit (shown) or an evening visit. The parents can also schedule multiple visits.
2-2-3 Parenting Time Schedule
In this schedule, one parent has the children for 2 days, the other parent then has the child for 2 days, and then the child goes back to the first parent for 3 days. The schedule keeps rotating, and the child goes to the second parent for 2 days, the first parent for 2 days, and the second parent for 3 days.
In the final post in this series, we’ll take a look at some other common joint custody schedules.
