2-2-5-5 in New Hampshire
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 New Hampshire this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called parenting time.

What New Hampshire expects
New Hampshire abolished 'custody' and 'visitation' in favor of 'parental rights and responsibilities'; a parenting plan on the court's form is required in every case with minor children.
Governing law: RSA 461-A.
New Hampshire requires its own form — Parenting Plan (NHJB-2064-FS). 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.
