Custody isn’t just a legal decision; it reshapes your child’s daily life and your entire parenting relationship. That’s why we created a comprehensive resource covering custody and visitation schedules and how to build a plan that truly serves your family. 

From 50/50 custody schedules to 60/40 custody, 2-2-3 custody schedules, 70/30 custody schedules, and 80/20 custody schedules, this guide gives you clarity and options, whether you’re working toward joint custody or navigating something more customized. 

Creating a Joint Parenting Plan That Puts Your Children First 

A joint custody parenting plan isn’t just about dividing time, it’s about giving your children stability and showing them both parents are committed to working together. The strongest plans are tailored to your family’s needs, support healthy co-parenting, and create predictable routines your kids can rely on. 

When parents share custody equally, 50/50 custody schedules offer a variety of ways to structure time. Here are some of the most common versions: 

 Popular 50/50 Custody Schedule Options 

1. Alternating Weeks
   Your child spends one full week with one parent, then the next week with the other. This setup minimizes exchanges and works well if both parents live close by and can accommodate school routines.
2. Two Weeks Each
   In this version, your child stays with one parent for two weeks, then switches for the next two weeks. This can be ideal for older children or parents who want fewer transitions.
   
3. 2-2-3 Custody Schedule
   The child spends two days with Parent A, two with Parent B, and three with Parent A. Then it switches the next week. Kids get frequent time with both parents, and neither goes too long without seeing the child.
