What South Carolina expects
South Carolina requires the court to consider a parenting plan from each parent and enumerates best-interest factors by statute.
Governing law: S.C. Code Ann. § 63-15-240.
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.
