Week on / week off schedule
Alternate full parenting weeks
Week-on/week-off gives each parent seven consecutive overnights and usually uses one consistent weekly handoff.

How alternating weeks work
Parents alternate seven-night blocks, often changing homes after school or at a set weekend time. The simple rhythm can reduce handoffs and make activities easier to plan.
Pros
- Only one regular transition each week.
- Both homes handle full school and weekend routines.
- Easy to remember and project ahead.
Watchouts
- A full week apart can be difficult for younger children.
- School items and medications need reliable handoff routines.
- Holiday and vacation overrides can shift the weekly rhythm.
