The week-on, week-off schedule for divorced families (Ages 7–12) | CoParentSpace

Sunday evening. Your eleven-year-old is packing his school bag. The PE kit, the reading book, the maths workbook. The two-week-old habit of double-checking everything because some weeks he hasn't seen the contents of his backpack since Tuesday. This is the third week of the new schedule. Week on, week off. He goes to his Co-Parent's tomorrow morning. He won't be back until next Sunday evening. It feels long. It also feels, oddly, less exhausting than what they had before.In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about the week-on, week-off schedule — what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why — grounded in attachment science and clinical research.What we cover:• What the pattern is• Why it works at this age• The hardest part of week-on, week-off• Friday vs Sunday transition• What this asks of the parents• When week-on/week-off ages outMade for parents raising children across two homes.
