Alternating weeks is the simplest 50/50 structure: seven nights with Parent A, seven with Parent B, repeat. Many families exchange Sunday evening or Monday morning.
Pros
- Minimal handoffs
- Easy to explain to schools and caregivers
- Clean 50/50 overnight math
Cons
- Young children may miss the other parent during a full week
- A bad week (illness, travel) feels longer
