A 2255 custody schedule is one form of parenting plan which spells out how separated parents will share the time and parenting responsibilities. In the 2255 custody schedule, one parent has the child for 2 days, and the other parent has the child for the next 2 days. Then, one parent has the child for 5 days and the other parent has the child for the next 5 days. Depending on how parents customize their schedule and what day the schedule starts, parents could have variations of this schedule: a 5-5-2-2 schedule, a 2-5-5-2 schedule, a 5-2-2-5 schedule, a 2-5-2-5 schedule, or a 5-2-5-2 schedule. These are all versions of the same two week repeating schedule. One of the advantages of this type of custody schedule is that the child has a good idea which days of each week he/she will be with which parent. This is a form of shared custody and parallel parenting that benefits the child.
