? about summer visitation schedule

STBX and I are working out the details of our parenting plan and I need some advice/suggestions. I know every situation is different but I'm trying to get some idea of how others work out their summer visitation schedules. I've heard of alternating weeks; non-custodial parent taking them for 2 weeks; alternating every two weeks, etc.

Can y'all give me some idea as to the types of schedules you have??

TIA,
Stephanie

Ours is the standard every other weekend, plus he gets an additional two weeks during the summer.

My xh is the ncp and he has 10 days during the summer. So far he has not exercised this time. BY the way - I think that standards differ from state to state due to differences in school years. Our school here pretty much goes to the end of June and we go back the day after labor day - so we have about an 8 or 9 week summer break. In other posts posters have mentioned that their ncp gets 8 weeks of the summer so I am assuming that their summer breaks are longer - that would be our entire break. My custody evaluator said that here 2 weeks is standard.

My xh gets 4 weeks. We are in the second year of our divorce. The first year - he had them one week. This year, he had them the full four weeks. We arranged it so that he would have them 2 weeks after school ended, then I had them for 2 weeks, then he had them for his last 2 weeks. Truthfully, I'm glad summer is over. I hated having my kids gone that long. I could have stood the first two weeks, he actually took vacation time and spent it with them. The second half - his new girlfriend had them.
