Custody schedule generator
Choose a pattern, a start date and a handover day, and we’ll build a four-week rota you can print, download or hand to your co-parent. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is saved and no account is needed.
Your pattern
Seven days with one parent, then seven with the other. The fewest handovers of any equal-time pattern.
The rota begins on the Monday of that week.
Use first names or “Mum”/“Dad” — we never store what you type.
Your four-week rota
Week-on / week-off (7-7) · 50/50 overall · about 26 handovers a year
Turn this into a living calendar
A printout works until something changes. In Co-Parenting Harmony the same pattern repeats automatically, your co-parent sees it too, handovers send reminders, and either of you can propose a swap without a long message thread. Private entries only ever show as “Busy”.
Questions about custody rotas
Is the custody schedule generator free?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, needs no account and stores nothing. You can print the rota or download it as a calendar file straight away.
Which custody patterns can it generate?
Week-on/week-off (7-7), 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, 3-4-4-3, alternating weekends and a weekday/weekend split. Each one shows the resulting night count so you can compare them.
Can I put the rota into a real shared calendar?
Yes. Download the calendar file for your own calendar app, or create a free Co-Parenting Harmony family so the pattern repeats automatically and your co-parent sees the same rota, with handover reminders.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a planning tool to help you visualise a pattern before you agree it. Any arrangement should be agreed between you, or through the appropriate process where that is needed.
Co-Parenting Harmony is a coordination tool, not a source of legal advice.
