Child Custody Visitation Schedule Template: 4 Important Categories
Are you looking for a child visitation schedule template? Here is a basic one to get you started.
The repeating cycle of custody and visitation
- Get a blank calendar that has 2-4 weeks.
- Fill out the basic cycle of custody and visitation.
- When you have the basic cycle, count the number of weeks.
- Repeat the weeks of the cycle throughout the calendar year.
Holiday schedule
- Make a list of the holidays you want to include.
- Decide how you will share the holidays — by splitting the time or alternating the holidays.
- Assign the holiday time to each parent.
- Pick a method for how you will figure out holidays each year (alternating the schedule every year, making a new one, etc.).
Vacation time
- Decide if you want a different custody and visitation schedule during the child's vacations and breaks from school.
- Decide how many days each parent gets to take the child on vacation each year.
- Either assign dates or set vacation allowances (which give parents so many days but let them pick the exact dates later).
Special events
- Look at the calendar to see if your child has any special events that will change the custody schedule (like sporting events, concerts, etc.).
- Reassign the custody as necessary.
