What West Virginia expects
West Virginia allocates 'custodial responsibility' and, since 2022, applies a presumption of approximately equal time. Its statute lists required plan contents.
Governing law: W. Va. Code § 48-9-201 et seq..
West Virginia requires its own form — Parenting Plan. Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
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.
