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.
