What New York expects
New York has no statutory custody presumption and no mandatory plan form — courts decide on best interests, which makes a clear, agreed written plan disproportionately persuasive.
Governing law: N.Y. Dom. Rel. Law § 240.
The honest trade-off
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
