Do the children stay overnight with each parent?

Which parent does not provide parenting time or provides day time parenting only?

Where both parents agree overnight stays can’t happen, any parenting time longer than 8 hours in one day is treated as equal to an overnight stay.

For example: John has parenting time every Saturday for 12 hours. This is longer than 8 hours in one day, so it is treated as equal to one overnight stay per week. One overnight stay per week is multiplied by 52 (the number of weeks per year) and so it is counted as 52 nights of parenting time per year.

If John has parenting time twice a week for longer than 8 hours each day, this would be equal to 104 nights per year.

If John has parenting time three times a week for longer than 8 hours each day, this would be equal to 156 nights per year.

If John has parenting time four times a week for longer than 8 hours each day, this would be equal to 208 nights per year.

If John has parenting time five times a week for longer than 8 hours each day, this would be equal to 260 nights per year.

If John has parenting time six times a week for longer than 8 hours each day, this would be equal to 312 nights per year.

If a parent does not provide parenting time for longer than 8 hours in one day or does not provide any parenting time please enter 0 in the box below.
