What Oklahoma expects

Oklahoma requires parents seeking joint custody to submit a written plan for the exercise of shared rights.

Governing law: 43 O.S. § 109.

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.
