2-2-5-5 Custody Schedule Explained (With Free Generator)

2-2-5-5 gives each parent two midweek days and a five-day stretch. Learn when it works and how overnights balance.

The 2-2-5-5 plan creates longer continuous time with each parent while still sharing midweek contact. A common cycle is two nights with A, two with B, five with A, five with B.

Who it fits

Parents who want fewer mid-cycle handoffs than pure 2-2-3, and children who handle five-day stretches well—especially school-age kids with stable routines.

Open the 2-2-5-5 generator to see overnight counts for your start date.
