What Minnesota expects
Minnesota's parenting-plan statute lets parents use their own terminology instead of 'custody' labels, provided the plan sets a schedule, decision-making, and a dispute-resolution method.
Governing law: Minn. Stat. § 518.1705.
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.
