2-2-3 in Indiana

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

What Indiana expects

Indiana's Parenting Time Guidelines are the default baseline statewide — plans are usually written as the Guidelines plus agreed variations, so name the Guidelines explicitly.

Governing law: Ind. Code § 31-17-2-8; Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines.

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.
