What is a 2-2-3 Custody Schedule?
The 2-2-3 custody schedule is one of the most widely used 50/50 arrangements for separated parents. Children spend two days with one parent, two days with the other, then three days with the first parent. The pattern then reverses, so each parent takes turns with the longer three-day block. The cycle repeats every 14 days, giving each parent exactly half of all parenting time. The 2-2-3 works well for younger children and for parents who live close to each other, since handovers happen frequently and no parent goes more than three consecutive days without seeing the child.
What is a 3-2-2 Custody Schedule?
The 3-2-2 schedule divides each fortnight into predictable blocks: three days, two days, two days, then it reverses. In the most common version, one parent has Monday to Wednesday, the second parent has Thursday and Friday, then the first parent takes the weekend. Week two swaps every block. Like the 2-2-3, it delivers a true 50/50 split while keeping handover days consistent, which suits children who respond well to routine.
What is a 2-2-5-5 Custody Schedule?
The 2-2-5-5 schedule combines short mid-week contact with longer residential blocks. Children spend two days with one parent, two days with the other, then five days with the first parent, then five days with the second. The 14-day cycle produces a 50/50 split while giving each parent a substantial uninterrupted stretch. This is often preferred by older children with school routines and activities on consecutive days, or for parents whose work schedules make mid-week handovers difficult.
Alternating Weeks Schedule
The alternating weeks schedule is the most straightforward long-block arrangement: the child lives with one parent for a full week, then the other parent for the following week. There is only one handover per fortnight, which minimises disruption and suits school-age children who benefit from a settled base for homework and activities. It is also the arrangement most commonly chosen when parents live at a distance that makes frequent handovers impractical.
