Build and Share a Custody Schedule

DuetNest supports 2/2, 5/2, week-on/week-off, weekend-split, and custom repeating patterns. Adults in the family space can review the resulting calendar and edit individual dates when the plan changes.

Why custody scheduling is harder than it looks

Parenting plans often combine a repeating base pattern with school events, holidays, and one-off changes. DuetNest provides a visual shared calendar for entering that plan; it does not interpret legal documents or guarantee that a generated schedule matches an agreement.

Pick a pattern

Choose a 2/2, 5/2, week-on/week-off, weekend-split, or custom pattern.

Set the parent order

Choose the parent order, generate the repeating plan from the app's current start point, and review the color-coded result. The current setup does not ask for a custom start date.

Add overrides

Edit individual dates for holidays, summer plans, or one-off changes while keeping the base pattern available for reference.

Use supported calendar connections

The web app can import Google Calendar events read-only, and the mobile app can add selected shared events to the phone calendar. These are separate, user-initiated flows rather than two-way sync.

Both parents see the same view

Both invited adults can review the same generated schedule and shared event details.

Visible one-off changes

Manual date overrides keep one-off schedule changes visible in the shared family calendar without claiming an approval or signature workflow.

Multiple child profiles

A family space can organize records for multiple children. DuetNest does not currently advertise a child login or read-only child view.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter a formal custody schedule?

Use a supported repeating pattern or a custom schedule, then add manual overrides. Review the result against the agreement yourself; DuetNest does not interpret legal documents or guarantee an exact legal match.

What if we need to swap a day?

Edit the affected date in the shared calendar. The current product does not advertise a separate approval, signature, or mutual-agreement workflow for swaps.

Does it work without my co-parent?

Yes. You can use the schedule solo and invite your co-parent later.
