2-2-5-5 in Wisconsin
Each parent has the same two weeknights every week, and the weekends alternate — so each parent gets a five-night block every other week. In Wisconsin this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called physical placement.

What Wisconsin expects
Wisconsin splits the concepts sharply: 'legal custody' is decision-making, 'physical placement' is time with the child. A parenting plan on form GF-150 is required in contested cases and the statute lists what it must contain.
Governing law: Wis. Stat. § 767.41.
Wisconsin requires its own form — Parenting Plan (GF-150). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
The best of both worlds for many families: every Monday-Tuesday is Mom's and every Wednesday-Thursday is Dad's (or the reverse), so activities and childcare land on the same days forever, and nobody goes more than five nights without the child. Fewer exchanges than 2-2-3 and far more predictable than alternating weeks.
