What should a shared parenting schedule include?
Start with the regular weekly pattern, then add school breaks, holidays, birthdays, appointments, and travel arrangements.
A shared calendar gives both households the same reference point and makes upcoming handoffs easier to review.
How should parents agree and record schedule changes?
Agree on how much notice is normally needed for a change and use a structured request when the proposed change affects the other parent.
Keep the original event and the agreed change clear so the history does not depend on memory or scattered messages.
