Two nights with one parent, two with the other, then a three-night weekend that alternates. Over two weeks it comes out even. In Alabama this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called visitation.

What Alabama expects
Alabama's Joint Custody Act states a policy of assuring frequent and continuing contact with both parents; joint custody is not presumed, so a plan that shows a workable schedule carries weight.
Governing law: Ala. Code § 30-3-150 et seq..
The honest trade-off
No long gap between seeing either parent, which is why it's the most common 50/50 schedule for little kids. The cost is exchanges — six a fortnight, roughly double most other schedules — so it only works when handoffs are calm and the drive is short.
