from Mediate This! · host Matthew Brickman, iMediate Inc.

What if building a parenting plan and calculating annual overnights didn’t require hours of arguments, spreadsheets, and competing calculations?In Episode 161 of MediateThis!, Matthew Brickman introduces the iMediate Time-Sharing Calculator, a parental time-sharing schedule planner and parenting plan builder created from his real-world experience as a family mediator.The idea came after a six-hour mediation where nearly half the session was spent with attorneys debating the number of overnights created by a negotiated parenting schedule. Matthew set out to build a faster, clearer way to calculate time-sharing and compare parenting plan options.Matthew walks through how the calculator helps parents, mediators, and family law professionals create customized weekday and weekend schedules, assign holidays and school breaks, compare multiple parenting-time scenarios, calculate annual overnights and percentages, and generate printable color-coded calendars.The calculator can accommodate traditional schedules such as 2-2-3 and week-on/week-off arrangements, as well as customized rotations, summer schedules, holidays, religious observances, and other family-specific needs. It also provides exact overnight totals that can be used when working through child support calculations.Explore the iMediate Time-Sharing Calculator:https://app.ichatmediation.com/SCHEDULE YOUR MEDIATION: https://ichatmediation.com/calendar/OFFICIAL BLOG: https://ichatmediation.com/podcastOFFICIAL YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/ichatmediationOFFICIAL LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ichat-mediation/ABOUT MATTHEW BRICKMAN:Matthew Brickman is a Supreme Court of Florida certified county civil family mediator who has worked in the 15th and 19th Judicial Circuit Courts since 2009 and 2006 respectively.
