Week-on / week-off in Utah
The child spends one full week with each parent, switching on the same day every week. In Utah this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called parent-time.

What Utah expects
Utah spells 'parent-time' with a hyphen and legislates a minimum schedule by the child's age — plans are written as the statutory minimum or better, so cite the section you're building from.
Governing law: Utah Code § 30-3-10.8; minimum schedule § 30-3-35.
The honest trade-off
The simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
