Two nights with one parent, two with the other, then a three-night weekend that alternates. Over two weeks it comes out even. In Oregon this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called parenting time.

What Oregon expects

Oregon requires a parenting plan in every case and distinguishes a 'general' plan from a 'detailed' plan — the detailed plan is what parents with any friction should file.

Governing law: ORS § 107.102.

Oregon requires its own form — Parenting Plan (required by ORS 107.102). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.

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.
