Every Other Weekend Midweek parenting time calculator

A Every Other Weekend Midweek custody schedule gives Parent A 71.43% of parenting time (260 overnights per year) and Parent B 28.57% (104 overnights), calculated over the 12 months from January 2026. The cycle repeats every 14 nights with 6 handoffs.

Alternating weekends plus a midweek overnight.

People call this a 80/20 schedule, but it actually computes to 71/29. A 14-night cycle cannot divide into exactly 80/20. We show you both numbers — the name people use, and what the calendar really does.
