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 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.
