This schedule has a child spend three days with one parent, then four days with the other parent. Then it switches, with the child spending four days with the first parent, followed by three days with the other parent. 

This schedule would consist of four repeating event series; two for Parent A and two for Parent B, with each event series set to repeat every other week.

Each parent will need one three-day event and one four-day event.

Follow the steps below to create the 3-4-4-3 AKA 60/40 Schedule while using the iPhone mobile app:

1. From the Calendar section of your account, select the three dots icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen and select Add event

4. Select a "Start date" (ex: First day of Parent A's three-day event series)
5. Select a "Start time"
6. Select an "End date" (ex: Last day of Parent A's three-day event series)
7. Select an "End time"
8. Select "Repeat" and enter how often this event occurs (for this schedule, select "Weekly")
9. From the drop-down under "Repeats every," select "Other week"
