2-2-3 in Kentucky

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

What Kentucky expects

Kentucky's 2018 law created a rebuttable presumption that joint custody AND equally shared parenting time are in the child's best interest — the strongest equal-time presumption in the country. Plans start at 50/50 and argue away from it.

Governing law: KRS § 403.270.

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.
