[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do 70-30 and it works out really well for stability. I think a fixed weekly schedule is better for everyone. My ex has kid on Thurs night - Saturday dinner every week. We are very flexible about holidays etc. but probably better to start out with a schedule for holidays and vacations written out.

I agree with PPs that he needs to have a plan to reliably take his custody time and plan for contingencies. He needs to not have early work mornings on his days and needs to have childcare in place for after school. That said I don’t see how forcing 50-50 solves that problem.

This is OP. I live this schedule thank you for sharing! I had not thought about splitting every weekend because of how often the every other weekend is used. I like that it’s 1 school night, 1 weekend night, and 1 weekend day. And I think Friday mornings could be an easy thing for him to carve out.

It does mean that there is no built in “weekend away” for either a parent to take a break, or a parent to take kids somewhere together. But if we are cooperative and flexible we could handle those when they arise occasionally. [/quote]
