The child is with one parent four nights a week and the other three, on the same days every 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 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.
