2-2-3 custody schedule calendar

Two nights with one parent, two with the other, then a three-night weekend. The next week flips, so each parent gets every other weekend and nobody is away from the kids for more than three nights. A true 50/50.

Who it suits

  • Young kids who do better with short stretches away from either parent
  • Parents who live close to each other and to school
  • Families who want every other weekend for both parents

What to watch

  • !Three hand-offs a week, so it needs two parents who can be civil at the door
  • !The weekdays flip every week, which is harder for older kids to track
  • !Activities that always land on the same weeknight fall to both parents in turn

Quilt writes the 2-2-3 schedule from your order through next year: holidays by even and odd year, school breaks, hand-off times. It syncs to Google and Apple, the other parent answers change requests in one tap, and the kids see whose house it is on their own device. 30 days free.

Questions about the 2-2-3

How many overnights does each parent get on a 2-2-3?

Seven nights each in every fourteen, so exactly half. The weekend parent changes every week.

Is a 2-2-3 schedule good for toddlers?

It is one of the most common choices for kids under six, because neither parent is away for more than three nights. As kids get older many families move to a 2-2-5-5 or week on, week off to cut down on hand-offs.

What days does the weekend parent get?

Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, handing back Monday morning. On this page the pattern starts on a Monday; in Quilt you set the exact hand-off day and time from your order.
