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

What California expects
California orders ride on Judicial Council form FL-341 and its attachments. Our template is the companion you negotiate from and then transcribe onto FL-341 — courts want their own form.
Governing law: Cal. Fam. Code § 3000 et seq..
California requires its own form — FL-341 — Child Custody and Visitation Order Attachment. Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
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.
