What's the time share in your situation?

If anyone would like to share I am curious about how the parenting time is split for others . . .

I guess it would be relevant to know if you are with the CP, NCP, or JC parent.

Thanks for any replies!

50/50 joint custodial. We switch on Mondays after school so no one's weekend is interupted.

DH was awarded everyother weekend when divorcing BM, DH told BM that he wanted more time with his kids.
when i came into the picture 3 years ago (DH/BM divorced 2000) he had them every weekend possible, they come when they have days off of school, every school break. they spent almost this entire summer at our house. to me we're getting the total shit end of things because it seems like they're there ALL THE TIME and Dh is paying CS, but we have to buy them school clothes, school supplies, and every other random thing you could pay for because BM is too lazy/cheap to do it.
now that they're older and getting jobs/gf, the weekends are becoming fewer and farther between, but i'm sure school breaks and summer will haunt me.

My DD sees her dad when he can make it to town (about two or three times a year)plus whenever exMIL goes to visit him...she takes DD with her...maybe another two or three times a year. DD hasn't seen her dad since August, but might get to see him for Thanksgiving. (he's in the military and lives 5 hours away).

DH and AM let their kids pick and choose when they want to be at DH's house or AM's house. It drives me crazy. They could be here one night, there the next night and DH is running the roads either bringing them their clothes or picking up their stuff from AM's place....nuts, I tell ya...NUTS!

NCP. Monday evenings (SD11 picked up after school Monday, and dropped off at school Tuesday morning.) Every other weekend, usually from after school Friday (or picked up around 5:00 at BM's house if DH has to work later than planned.) Generally BM picks up SD around 10:00 Sunday morning (no, no clue why DH doesn't keep her for the day on Sundays. NMK, NMP...)

DH is JC parent of 2 SKs with 2 BMs for added joy!

SS17: Every other week, Friday - Friday + every freakin day after school on our "off" weeks until lazy BM picks him up between 5:30 - 6:30. SO, I NEVER get a break! FUN!

SS5: Every Monday AM - Wednesday AM & EOW. Those days are the worst.

BIOS: Every other weekend + play it all by ear during the week. EX-H travels for work, and since I work from home & would have my kids every day if I could anyway, I work with his schedule so he can have max time with kiddies when he is not travelling. Since DH does no cooking, cleaning, laundry, driving, or dealing with pick-ups or drop-offs even for his OWN kids, he plays ball with my lack of schedule.

NCP

EOWE Friday after school to Sunday at 7:00 pm. 8:00 pm when school isn't in.

Every Wednesday from after school to 8:00 pm. However, one of the skids has an activity that night, so we drive her to activity for 7:00 then take other skid home.

24 freaking 7. SS has been back to see BM 2 times in the 10 months he has been here!

Oh and DH is NCP. lol

SS & SD are supposed to come EOWe, EOHoliday (by CO). But we have only seen SD 4 times this year and never for an entire weekend. My H is NCP.

I was CP and my son was with me 100% of the time. His "father" took off when he was 6 months old and never requested to see him or contacted him in anyway until recently. There is an order for CS but no order for any visitation.

DH's kiddos stay with us the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends of each month Friday @ 5pm - Sunday @ 7pm and then every Wednesday overnight from 5pm - Thursday when school starts.

My youngest goes to his dad's the 2nd, 4th, and 5th weekends of each month Friday evening (whenever he can get here) until Sunday at 8pm. He also has Thursdays from 6-9pm. My oldest usually joins him during the same times since he was basically his dad for 10 years. This is not at all what is in our court order but he and I do whatever works best for all of us without any fussing. Once we got my skids on a normal rotating schedule I asked him to switch and he agreed with no problems. He's great to work with as far as exes go!

Starting in January my oldest is supposed to fly to see his bio-dad on the 2nd weekend of each month (he lives about 6 hours away) leaving Fridays @ 6pm and returning on Sunday @ 7pm. We will see how long that actually lasts....I'm betting not past May. He's only seen him on holidays for the last 3 years but because I asked for a CS increase he is now playing super dad....I hope it lasts but based on past behavior I doubt it will. Sad

We were fortunate enough to line up the holidays very nicely. Thanksgiving even years we have no kids, Thanksgiving odd years we have all of them. Christmas even years we have all the kids and odd years we have none of them. Spring break even years we have all of them and then odd years we have none of them.

Fiance tried fighting for "joint custody" but our state favors primary custody/extended visitation. So he has joint LEGAL custody but it's "extended visitation", even though his time with his son equals 50/50.

We have him Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights one week, then Monday, Friday, and Saturday nights the next week. Okay, so doing the math it's not exactly 50/50, but it's 3 out of 7 days a week.

The 1st, 3rd and 5th weekend of the month. Every other holiday and every wed. night. Dh is the NCP. However Dh does not see them on Wednesdays b/c we live too far for that plus bm would NEVER agree to letting the kids be with him on that night anyway. She would make the excuse that they have school and it would interfere with it. She won't even let dh call them on that night either.

BBC,

My wife has 100% Physical and Legal custody of our son (my SS-18). This has been in force since he was 1yo when BioDad bailed on them.

BioDad gets ~7wks+/- of visitation per year. 5Wks Summer, ~1Wk Winter (Even yrs- the day school is out until Dec 24. Odd years - Dec 26 until the day before school starts), ~1Wk Spring (Day school is out until day before school starts).

Average visitation with BioDad per year is 51days.

This is a fairly standard out-of-state visitation schedule in the jurisdiction where our son's (my SS) case is resident.

Welcome by the way.

Best regards,

We have skids 50/50 two weeks on and two weeks off. PLUS DH still pays almost $700 in child support not to mention BM won't send clothes with them so we have to buy all that AND BM has the nerve to ask us to send video games with them so they have something to do at her house too. I have 100% custody of my bio son. XH was suppose to have EOW but we haven't spoken in two years and he hasn't seen DS in over three years. He calls DH dad. I know alot of people think it's wrong but he's the only dad bio knows. So tough cookies.
