description of schedule
Parent A (the parent with VISITATION rights) will have physical custody of the child(ren) three sessions per week that last [three] to [six] hours each (Sessions A, B, and C). One session per week may last up to [eight] hours, but not overnight. Avoid consecutive sessions, if possible.
Parent B (the parent with SOLE PHYSICAL CUSTODY) will have physical custody of the child(ren) for the remainder of the month.
This schedule is especially suitable for infants (<12 months).
NOTE: The sample calendar and description include suggested days and times, but these days and times and any bracketed information can be adjusted to fit an individual family’s needs. See Customizing Your General Time-Sharing Schedule for more information.
advantages
- The child(ren) have regular and frequent contact with each parent
- The child(ren) see each parent each week.
- The child(ren) never go more than a few days without seeing the other parent.
- This schedule ensures that infants (< 12 months) will remember each parent by seeing them every week.
disadvantages
- If the visitation is scheduled during the weekend, the child(ren) will not have a full weekend with either parent.
- This schedule may be disadvantageous for high-conflict parents because the frequent transitions require effective communication.
