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 most predictable schedule on this list — every week is identical, so there is no odd/even week to track and no calendar needed after the first month. It's also the natural on-ramp to 50/50: shifting a single night makes it 3-4-4-3.
