What Arizona expects
Arizona replaced 'custody' with 'legal decision-making' in 2013. A statutory parenting plan must state each parent's rights and responsibilities, a schedule including holidays and school vacations, and a dispute-resolution procedure.
Governing law: A.R.S. § 25-403.02.
The honest trade-off
The most predictable schedule on this list — every week is identical, so there is no odd/even week to track and no calendar needed after the first month. It's also the natural on-ramp to 50/50: shifting a single night makes it 3-4-4-3.
