Frequently asked questions
How is the split worked out?
By overnights: each date on the calendar belongs to the parent who has the child that night. The percentages count every night of the chosen year, so they can differ slightly from the cycle’s own split when the year doesn’t divide evenly into cycles.
Can I make my own schedule?
Yes. Pick “Custom pattern” and type the nights as counts that alternate between the parents, starting with Parent A (for example 3-4-4-3 or 5-2-2-5), or as one letter per night (A or B). Cycles of up to 56 nights work.
Does it include holidays, birthdays or school breaks?
No. It shows the regular rotation only. Holiday arrangements usually override it for those dates, so add them to your plan separately.
Is my information stored?
No. The calendar is made in your browser. The names and dates you enter are kept only in the page address so you can bookmark or share it.
Custody Days does calendar arithmetic only. It is general information, not legal advice, and it doesn't know your parenting plan or court order: where they differ, they apply.
