60/40 custody schedules

A 60/40 schedule gives one parent a little more time. Exact 60/40 doesn't fit into two weeks, so the usual rotations give 8 of 14 nights against 6, which is 57/43.

Two common 60/40 schedules

  • 4-3 every week (57/43)

    Parent 1 has Monday to Thursday nights and parent 2 has Friday to Sunday, every week. 8 of 14 nights against 6.

How 60/40 adds up

  • 60% of 14 nights is 8.4, so schedules round to 8 and 6 nights (57/43) or 9 and 5 (64/36).
  • 4-3 is the same every week: four nights with parent 1, three with parent 2.
  • Alternating long weekends give parent 2 Wednesday to Sunday one week and Wednesday night the next.
  • Over a year that is about 209 nights against 156.
