Common Custody Schedules w/ Timeshare - Part Two

There are standard custody schedules that parents typically use when they first create a parenting plan. They often don't realize how much time the schedules actually give them with their child.

The schedules below were made using Custody X Change to give you an idea of how each schedule divides time between parents.

Alternating weekends with one evening visit a week

In this schedule, the child lives with the custodial parent during the week and visits the noncustodial parent on alternating weekends and for one evening visit during the week. Here's how the schedule looks when you apply it to a month:

You can customize this with Custody X Change.

For this arrangement, the custodial parent has 85.5% of the time with the child and the noncustodial parent has 14.5% of the time. This schedule is a common one for a situation where one parent has sole physical custody and the other parent gets visitation.

Alternating weekends with one overnight a week

This is similar to the schedule above, but the evening visit is an overnight visit. The noncustodial parent has visitation every other weekend and one overnight visit a week. It looks like this:
