Direct answer
A child custody visitation calculator totals annual overnights for each parent. Every other weekend (2 nights) → Parent B ~104 nights (~28.5% parenting time); Parent A ~261 nights (~71.5%) on a 365-night year. Use presets (2-2-3, week-on/week-off) or custom counts + holiday extras. Illustrative only.

Reports
Provide approximate percentages alongside narrative recommendations.
Every other weekend (2 overnights), no extras — matches calculator defaults:
Parent B
104 nights (28.5%)
Parent A
261 nights (71.5%)
Each preset maps to an illustrative count of annual overnights for Parent B. Parent A receives the remainder of a 365-night year. You may add “extra” Parent B overnights to mimic holidays, school breaks, or make-up time. Custom mode lets you type Parent B overnights directly before extras. Percentages round to one decimal for display.
Pickup windows, travel notice, right of first refusal, communication, and decision-making authority belong in a full parenting plan—not in this overnight tally.
Next step: run your state's Florida, Texas, or other child support calculator with verified incomes.
