This draws a pattern. It is not legal advice: a court order or parenting plan sets the real schedule, including holidays.
How the 2-2-3 schedule works
In the usual layout, which starts on a Monday, week one is Monday and Tuesday with Parent A, Wednesday and Thursday with Parent B, and Friday to Sunday with Parent A. Week two is the mirror image. Weekends alternate between the parents, and neither parent goes more than a few days without the child.
Also searched for as: 2-2-3 parenting schedule, 2 2 3 visitation schedule.
The cycle is 14 days long: 2 days with Parent A, 2 days with Parent B, 3 days with Parent A, 2 days with Parent B, 2 days with Parent A, 3 days with Parent B, and then it starts again.
The blocks of the cycle
| Block | What | Days of the cycle |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 days with Parent A | Days 1 to 2 |
| 2 | 2 days with Parent B | Days 3 to 4 |
| 3 | 3 days with Parent A | Days 5 to 7 |
| 4 | 2 days with Parent B | Days 8 to 9 |
| 5 | 2 days with Parent A | Days 10 to 11 |
| 6 | 3 days with Parent B | Days 12 to 14 |
The numbers
| Cycle length | 14 days |
|---|---|
| Parent A | 7 of 14 days (50%) |
| Parent B | 7 of 14 days (50%) |
| Handovers | 6 in 14 days, about 157 a year |
| Longest stretch | 3 days with Parent A, 3 with Parent B |
These count days, starting the layout on a Monday.
Good and bad about 2-2-3
In its favour
- Equal time
- Short gaps from each parent, which suits younger children
- Weekends alternate
Against it
- More handovers than most 50/50 schedules
- Needs the parents to live close together
- Many changes of home for the child
Who uses 2-2-3
Often chosen for young children, because no stretch away from either parent is long, and for parents who live close together.
This page draws a pattern so you can see it, print it and share it. It is not legal advice: a court order or parenting plan sets the real schedule, including holidays, and that always wins over a calendar.

Frequently asked questions
What percentage of the time does each parent have on a 2-2-3 schedule?
Parent A has 7 of every 14 days (50%) and Parent B has 7 (50%), counting days. Counting overnights or school nights can give different figures, and holidays set in a court order or plan change the real totals for a year.
How many handovers are there on a 2-2-3 schedule?
6 in every 14 days, or about 157 in a year. The longest unbroken stretch with one parent is 3 days for Parent A and 3 for Parent B.
Which days does each parent get on a 2-2-3 schedule?
Starting on a Monday: week one, Parent A has Monday and Tuesday, Parent B has Wednesday and Thursday and Parent A has Friday to Sunday. Week two swaps them: Parent B has Monday and Tuesday, Parent A has Wednesday and Thursday and Parent B has Friday to Sunday.
