Planning Your Co-Parenting Schedule
There is no one-size-fits-all schedule when it comes to co-parenting. Each family is unique, and the best arrangement will depend on your children’s ages, your work routines, travel time between homes, and the level of cooperation between parents.
Many parents develop their schedules with the help of a mediator or through open discussion with the other parent. Exploring common co-parenting schedules in advance can help you feel more prepared and give you ideas about what might work well for your situation.
There are several helpful websites that offer visual examples of parenting time arrangements. These include options like alternating weeks, 2-2-3 or 3-4-4-3 schedules, and others designed to maintain stability while allowing both parents meaningful time with their children.
