What Arkansas expects
Arkansas amended its custody statute in 2021 toward a rebuttable presumption of joint custody, making an equal-time schedule the starting point rather than the exception.
Governing law: Ark. Code Ann. § 9-13-101.
The honest trade-off
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
