What is the typical visitation schedule in a joint custody arrangement?
It really depends on how old the children are and how far the parents live from each other. However, generally, a typical visitation schedule would be the following. There’s a custodial parent (somebody that the children live with) and then there’s the non-custodial parent, who will have about two or three visitations during the week, and then the parents will alternate weekends. That’s a typical parenting plan. It obviously changes because if the child is two months old, then it might not be the same as if the child was a running-around five-year-old toddler. Also, it changes if the father lives in LA as opposed to San Diego, for example, so distance really matters, too. So, it really it depends. There’s no typical parenting plan.
