What Pennsylvania expects
Pennsylvania grades custody into named forms — sole, shared, primary, partial, and supervised physical custody — and its relocation statute (§ 5337) has strict notice requirements worth writing into the plan.
Governing law: 23 Pa.C.S. § 5323.
The honest trade-off
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
