PARENTING TIME SCHEDULE: SCHEDULE 13<br />
13<br />
<strong>Parenting</strong> <strong>Time</strong>:<br />
Schedule 13<br />
Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat<br />
Advantages of Schedule 13:<br />
• All exchanges can occur at school or day<br />
care, which is easier <strong>for</strong> most children to<br />
handle.<br />
• No parental face-to-face contact, which<br />
makes this an ideal plan <strong>for</strong> high-conflict<br />
parents.<br />
• Consistency and predictability on weekdays.<br />
• Full weekends <strong>for</strong> each parent.<br />
• Five-day blocks may be appealing to many<br />
parents (especially in the summer <strong>for</strong> “mini<br />
vacations”).<br />
Disadvantages of Schedule 13:<br />
• Five days may be too long to be away from<br />
one or both parents.<br />
• Transitioning every 2-5 days may seem hard<br />
<strong>for</strong> some children (especially ensuring that<br />
their clothes, books, toys, etc., accompany<br />
them).<br />
Optional Schedule 13 modification:<br />
The Wednesday/Thursday parent’s<br />
time can end on Sunday evening.<br />
