Two nights with one parent, two with the other, then a three-night weekend that alternates. Over two weeks it comes out even. In Montana this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called parenting time.

What Montana expects
Montana abolished custody terminology entirely — the statute speaks only of parenting plans and requires a final plan to address residential schedule, decision-making, and dispute resolution.
Governing law: Mont. Code Ann. § 40-4-234.
The honest trade-off
No long gap between seeing either parent, which is why it's the most common 50/50 schedule for little kids. The cost is exchanges — six a fortnight, roughly double most other schedules — so it only works when handoffs are calm and the drive is short.
