Custody Schedule Templates

Common 50/50 and primary-parent patterns — see how each looks across two weeks

Templates for planning — not legal advice. The right schedule depends on your children's ages, distance between homes, and work schedules. Use these as a starting point and confirm any final arrangement with a family-law professional in your state.

Week On / Week Off

50/50

Children spend one full week with each parent, alternating. The simplest 50/50 split — fewest exchanges, best for school-age kids and cooperative co-parents living close together.

2-2-3 Schedule

50/50

Two days with one parent, two with the other, then three, alternating each week. More frequent transitions — often recommended for younger children who do better with shorter time away from either parent.

Every Other Weekend

80/20

Children live primarily with one parent and spend every other weekend with the other. Common when parents live far apart or one has a demanding work schedule.
