"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."

"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."

Every 3 Weeks Custody & Visitation

What is an every 3 weeks schedule?

The every three weeks schedule is one choice in a 70/30 physical custody schedule. Your child will spend two weeks with one parent and the third week with the other.

Below is a visual calendar of the every three weeks schedule made on the Custody X Change software. Time with the mother is represented in pink and the father blue.

Will an every 3 weeks schedule work for me?

This schedule is very consistent and easy to implement. Your child is able to spend longer periods at each home and not have a lot of disruptions in their life. Children who like to have longer times at each home find this schedule comforting. Parents who also are still having conflict find this schedule to work well because of the limited exchanges. You will have to communicate frequently with the other parent about what is happening in the child's life.

The main issue with this type of schedule is the age of your child. You want to make sure they can handle being away from one parent so long. Some parents also find it difficult to be away from their child as well. You will both need to live in the same school district if your child is school age.

Pros:

Consistent and easy to implement.
Children who struggle with change and require consistency do well on this schedule.
Good if you and the other parent are in conflict.

Cons:

The child and/or parent may struggle being away from each other so long.
Both parents need to live close if your child is in school.

What are some variations on the every 3 weeks schedule?

There are many ways you can change the every 3 weeks schedule work for you. Below are some different examples of how we have changed the schedule to meet different needs.

This first schedule has the mother with two weeks and the father with the third. There is also one night where the child spends time with the non-custodial parent. It is a great way for you and your child to spend time together when not in your home.

This second example is has changes the exchange time to Sunday instead of Friday.
