advantages
- The child(ren) have regular and frequent contact with each parent.
- The child(ren) see each parent several times per week.
- The child(ren) have a full weekend with each parent.
- Provides sufficient time for parent-child bonding assuming that parents engage the child(ren) in activities that promote bonding.
disadvantages
- The child(ren) may be away from Parent A for too long.
- The child(ren) will not see Parent A for several days at a time.
- Parents need to agree about arrangements for the child(ren)’s extra-curricular activities, especially if the extra-curricular activities take place during the weekend.
- This schedule may be disadvantageous for high-conflict parents because the frequent transitions require effective communication.
