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 simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
