What Mississippi expects
Mississippi courts apply the Albright factors to custody; joint custody is available where both parents request it.
Governing law: Miss. Code Ann. § 93-5-24.
The honest trade-off
The most predictable schedule on this list — every week is identical, so there is no odd/even week to track and no calendar needed after the first month. It's also the natural on-ramp to 50/50: shifting a single night makes it 3-4-4-3.
