Exchanges every Friday after school. 5p on non school days. Midweek dinner visits(was Tuesdays). Kids go to off week parents house at normal exchange time. Off week parent drops kids off at other parents house at 8p.
This worked very good for work. I stayed late two nights on my parenting week (Tuesday and Friday) and late three nights on my off week. Didn't go too long between seeing kids. My kids were in soccer and baseball etc so I saw them more frequently anyway.
The best thing I did was implement the "Drop off parent". If you have a "pickup parent" then you end up waiting around your X's house or vice versa.
I guess my feeling is get things as simple and as concrete as possible. I have stupid exceptions written in. Like 9AM exchange on Easter. Better is keeping every formal excpetion at the normal excahge time.
These are the big exceptions, most people alternate years:
Thanksgiving exception (Mother enjoys Thursday on odd years, father gets Friday) Christmas break exception (We split the time in half. Mother enjoys the first halve on odd years father on even)
spring break
Birthdays??
