Fair Share Mediator - Custody Schedule Planning

Example

Parents take turns selecting days for overnight stays, with the parent having fewer nights getting priority. This ensures a fair distribution and addresses imbalances.

Scenario

A mother and father are trying to create a balanced schedule for their child's summer vacation. They use the negotiation mode to alternately pick days that fit their individual plans while ensuring the child has quality time with both.

Example

Parents can choose a night for an overnight stay, skip their turn, or propose a swap. This flexibility accommodates changing circumstances and promotes compromise.

Scenario

During the negotiation, one parent realizes they need to travel for work. They propose to swap days with the other parent, ensuring the child is cared for while maintaining the balance of overnight stays.

Example

After negotiations, a calendar view visualizes the agreed-upon schedule with color coding for each parent. This helps both parents and the child understand the upcoming schedule at a glance.

Scenario

After finalizing their negotiation, the parents and their child can easily see who the child will be with on any given day, making it easier to plan activities, pickups, and drop-offs.
