Most still consider this schedule a 50/50 between parents since it has a child spend two weeks with one parent and two weeks with the other parent.

This schedule can only be made using single events, and a new two-week-long event must be created for each parent every two weeks.

Please note: there is no way to create this schedule using a repeating event series. Each parent will need a new event every two weeks.

Follow the steps below to create the Two Weeks Each schedule 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
  2. Enter the "Title" (ex: Parent A)
  3. Select the "Category Color" (This step is optional but useful for customizing events on the calendar. Please note: your co-parent will not be able to see the colors you have chosen for your events)
  4. Select a "Start date" (ex: First day of Parent A's two-week event)
  5. Select a "Start time"
  6. Select an "End date" (ex: Last day of Parent A's two-week event)
  7. Select an "End time"
  8. Select "Done"
  9. Under "Notes" enter any notes regarding the event (Optional)
  10. Click "Save"

In the example below, Parent A has a two-week event scheduled starting on a Sunday and ending on the second Saturday, followed by Parent B's two-week event for the next two weeks after Parent A's event.
