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

What Maryland expects
Maryland adopted a court Parenting Plan Tool and requires parents to file either an agreed plan or a joint statement of their disputes. Our template maps onto that tool's categories.
Governing law: Md. Rule 9-204.1.
Maryland requires its own form — Parenting Plan Tool / Joint Statement of the Parties Concerning Decision-Making Authority and Parenting Time. 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.
