Starting on January 5, 2026, 2026 gives 261 nights in home 1 and 104 nights in home 2, with 104 handovers over the year.
The 5-2 schedule keeps school days in one home and weekends in the other. The rotation repeats every 7 days: home 1 has 5 nights and home 2 has 2 nights, creating a 71/29 split and 2 handovers per cycle.

Starting on a Monday, the child spends Monday through Friday in home 1, for 5 nights. The first handover usually takes place at the end of the school week, at a time both parents agree works well.
The child spends Saturday and Sunday in home 2, for 2 nights. The second handover takes place at the end of the weekend, so the next Monday begins again in home 1 and the 7-day pattern repeats.
