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
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.
