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 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.
