Partner

A schedule that works for a toddler rarely works for a teenager. Build in the changes now.

Most custody disputes we see years later come from schedules that never changed.

Write in review points

Agree to revisit the schedule at natural milestones, like starting middle school.

Separate holidays from weekly time

Holiday schedules cause the most conflict. Keep them in their own section, rotating by year.

Plan for distance

If a move is possible, agree in advance how travel and costs would be shared.
