For many people, a separation or divorce goes hand-in-hand with a career change.

Generally, however, for Monday to Friday 9-5ish positions, a set split week schedule works much better than a week to week schedule or some other floating schedule. The Fair Parenting Project is based upon a set split week schedule whereby the children are with one parent every Monday and Tuesday, with the other parent every Wednesday and Thursday, and Fridays through Monday morning alternate. All of the children's transfers between houses take place with the children going to school from one house in the morning and returning home to the other house on a transfer day.
By fixing what days of the week a parent has the children, each household gains a lot of autonomy to plan and schedule their lives. For example, if one parent is passionate that a child should attend Scouts, that activity can be solely on that parent's days. With week to week schedules, parents are often embroiled in scheduling conflicts because which day of the week that works for an activity at one house, does not necessarily work at the other house. What does this have to do with work and careers? Fixing the days when a parent does not have children frees them up to schedule work consistently, take a night class, or join social activities for mental wellness and networking opportunities.
