Choose the period you are comparing
Seven nights each in fourteen is a 50/50 overnight split. A particular calendar month may look uneven because it starts or ends partway through the cycle. Include holiday exceptions when comparing a longer period.
Compare the handoffs
Alternating weeks, 2-2-3, and fixed-weekday patterns can divide nights equally while changing how often the kids move between homes. Write out the sequence instead of choosing by percentage alone.
Keep hours and nights distinct
A night count and an hour count answer different questions. A school-day exchange time affects hours without necessarily changing where the child sleeps. Use the same method and date range when discussing a figure.
Use the calendar as a planning aid
CoFam’s time-share display helps you read the schedule. It is not a child-support calculation, a tax determination, or a legal ruling about custody. Compare any required calculation with the applicable instructions rather than substituting an app percentage.
Does joint custody always mean exactly 50/50?
Do not infer the actual schedule from that label. Read the specific arrangement and clarify unfamiliar terms with a qualified professional.
Why might one month look uneven?
The month may cut through the repeating cycle, or exceptions may change its totals.
