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

What Ohio expects
Ohio's term of art is 'shared parenting' — a shared parenting plan must be filed and approved for parents to share rights and responsibilities. Local rules vary by county, so check the form for the county where the case is filed.
Governing law: Ohio Rev. Code § 3109.04.
Ohio requires its own form — Shared Parenting Plan (county-specific forms). 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.
