"Gave me a Clear Picture"

"Without Custody X Change, I would have signed the proposed agreement and found out about the problems and conflicts only after it was too late.

"Custody X Change took the raw data I had stared at for days, and in a few minutes, gave me a crystal clear picture of the resulting schedule.

"Custody X Change is a must-have resource for parents and attorneys working with visitation issues."

-Doug Conway, Fargo, ND
"My Plan Passed with Flying Colors"

"I can't thank you enough for the software.

"The Parenting Plan passed with flying colors in the courts and with my ex.

"Now the best part is that I am using the deluxe version to adjust and record my times.

"This is one software I will use for a long time.

"Thanks again."

-Gabriella Selmi, Granbury, TX
"Very Useful During Renegotiations"

"I used Custody X Change during our negotiations for Summer and Holiday visitation.

"The software was very easy to use and provided useful calculations from the agreed schedule.

"That spared us from having to do the tedious task of counting days on a calendar.

"I would recommend this product to any parent who has to establish a custody schedule with another parent."

-Chimena Thompson, San Diego, CA
"Helps See Child Support Consequences of Options"

"I got the Custody X Change software so I could give my clients a printed Calendar.

"Also, in New Mexico, there can be a significant change in child support from 'Schedule A,' where one parent has responsibility for less than 35 percent of the time, and 'Schedule B,' where each party has responsibility for more than 35 percent of the time.

"On borderline cases, it is important to know the possible child support consequences of various options."

2-2-3 Visitation & Custody - 50/50 Schedule

What is a 2-2-3 schedule?

The 2-2-3 schedule is one of the many choices for a 50/50 physical custody schedule. Your child will stay with one parent for two days of the week and the remaining two days with the other parent. The 3 day weekend then alternates from one parent to the other.

We have created a 2-2-3 schedule made in the Custody X Change software. Time with the mother is represented in pink and the father blue.

Will a 2-2-3 schedule work for me?

The 2-2-3 schedule is a great way for can work very well if you and the other parent live close to each other, close to the child's school, and are both committed to having a good co-parenting relationship. It also allows the child an opportunity to spend time each week with both parents.

The main issue with this type of schedule is the constant change from one home to another. Some children struggle and feel like they are constantly a visitor and never really a part of either home. There also is the issue of school activities and homework. It is essential you and the other parent communicate about your child's school activities, homework, and struggles/successes.

Pros:

  • Children are able to spend time with both parents each week.
  • Your child sees both parents working together for their benefit.
  • The schedule is easy to understand and implement.

Cons:

  • Frequent exchanges which take more time and planning.
  • Your child must be able to change homes frequently while still completing all their responsibilities.
  • There is not a set night parents have the child because weeknights rotate along with the weekends.
What are some variations on the 2-2-3 schedule?

You can make the 2-2-3 schedule work for you. We have created some different examples of the schedule meeting different needs.

This first schedule has been changed so that the three day weekend is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening. You can immediately see on the Custody Exchange Software how any changes you make affect the percentage of times each parent has.

This second example is the basic 2-2-3 schedule but the exchange time on Sunday is changed to 8:30 for longer weekend time. This shows how you can easily make a small change to the schedule to fit your needs.

This third example we have changed the exchange time at 4:00 while keeping Sunday night exchange time at 8:30. You can easily adjust exchange times to work best for your schedule.
