Starting on January 5, 2026, 2026 gives 314 nights in home 1 and 51 nights in home 2, with 34 handovers over the year.
The every-third-weekend schedule gives one home time with the child on one weekend out of every three. It creates a steady primary-home routine while keeping regular weekend time in the other home.

The rotation repeats every 21 days. Starting on a Monday, the child spends four days in home 1 from Monday through Thursday, then three days in home 2 from Friday through Sunday.
The child returns to home 1 on Monday and stays there for the next 14 days. Each cycle has two handovers, with 18 nights in home 1 and 3 nights in home 2—an 86/14 split—before the pattern starts again.
