2-2-5-5 in Missouri
Each parent has the same two weeknights every week, and the weekends alternate — so each parent gets a five-night block every other week. In Missouri this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called custody time.

What Missouri expects
Missouri requires each party to file a proposed parenting plan, and the statute is unusually prescriptive — it enumerates the required contents down to how the exchange happens and how expenses are allocated.
Governing law: Mo. Rev. Stat. § 452.310.
Missouri requires its own form — Proposed Parenting Plan (required by § 452.310). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
The best of both worlds for many families: every Monday-Tuesday is Mom's and every Wednesday-Thursday is Dad's (or the reverse), so activities and childcare land on the same days forever, and nobody goes more than five nights without the child. Fewer exchanges than 2-2-3 and far more predictable than alternating weeks.
