Navigating Custody Schedules: A Visual Guide

Are you a visual learner? If so, we've got just the resource for you! With our clients in mind, we've created carefully designed color-coded and user-friendly custody schedules. These schedules provide a visual representation of what your potential custody arrangement could look like.

Dive into the 2024 Joint Custody Visual Guide, featuring three possible schedules: Week-On, Week-Off; the 2-5-5-2 Schedule, and the 2-2-3 Schedule. Each schedule comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Generally, we recommend the 2-2-3 schedule for infants and young toddlers, suggesting a transition to the 2-5-5-2 schedule and eventually to week-on, week-off as children grow. Every child is unique, but these illustrations offer a clearer understanding of how different schedules function.

The schedule also outlines the standard holiday schedules for both Washington and Benton Counties. While you're free to create your holiday schedule, these are the guidelines recommended by our judges in case an agreement cannot be reached with the other party.

On another note, explore the 2024 Standard Visitation Visual Guide, covering the standard weekend and midweek visitation schedules for both Washington and Benton County, alongside the usual holiday and summer schedules. You can always customize a schedule that fits your family, but these standardized schedules serve as a helpful guide or backup in case you do not agree.
