What Colorado expects
Colorado abolished 'custody' in favor of 'parental responsibilities' — decision-making responsibility and parenting time are allocated separately.
Governing law: C.R.S. § 14-10-124.
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.
