There are several breakdowns of how to divide time in a 70/30 arrangement. The most common is the weekend schedule, where a child is with one parent during the week and the other on the weekends.

This schedule will consist of two repeating event series, one for Parent A and one for Parent B.

Follow the steps below to create the Weekend Split, AKA 70/30 schedule using the iPhone app:

  1. From the Calendar section of your account, select the "three dot" 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-day Event Series)
  5. Select an "End Date" (ex: Last day of Parent A's two-day Event Series)
  6. Select a "Start Time" and an "End Time"
  7. Select "Repeat" and enter how often this event occurs (for this schedule, select "Weekly")
  8. From the drop-down under "Repeats every," select "Week"
  9. Select the days of the week on which the event should repeat (for this schedule, select the first day of the event. In the below example, "Saturday"and "Monday" are selected)
  10. Under "End repeat," select "Never"(or you can enter a date that the event stops repeating by clicking "On date" and entering a specific date)
  11. Click "Done"
  12. Under "Notes," enter any notes regarding the event (optional)
  13. Click "Save"

In the example below, Parent A has their event set to repeat every weekend, and Parent B's event is set to repeat every week during the weekdays.
