The child lives primarily with one parent and spends every other weekend with the other. 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
Long the default in American courts, and still the most common order — but twelve days can pass between weekends, and the weekend parent rarely sees a school night or a homework fight. Most plans soften it with a midweek dinner.
