Week-on / week-off in Wisconsin
The child spends one full week with each parent, switching on the same day 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 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.
