Custody Schedule Maker (2-2-3, 7-7, 2-2-5-5)
Build a co-parenting custody calendar from common schedules — alternating weeks, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, 3-4-4-3 or every other weekend — and see each parent's share of overnights.

How it's calculated

Frequently asked questions
Which schedule is best for young children?
Younger children often do better with shorter gaps between parents, like 2-2-3. Older children often prefer fewer handovers, like alternating weeks.
What's the difference between 2-2-3 and 2-2-5-5?
Both are 50/50. In 2-2-3 the days a parent has change each week; in 2-2-5-5 each parent always has the same weekdays, which makes school routines easier.
Is this a legal custody agreement?
No — it's a planning tool. Parenting plans should be agreed between parents and, where required, approved by a court.
