What North Carolina expects
North Carolina requires custody mediation in most contested cases before a hearing — parents typically arrive at mediation with a draft agreement, which is exactly this document's job.
Governing law: N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50-13.2.
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.
