The first factors include Physical, emotional, mental needs of the child, Capability and desire of each parent, Child preference (if sufficient age), so your plan should explain those facts with dates, school calendars, and overnight counts.
Parenting time and support impact
The extracted AK config lists 110 overnightsfor child-support math and uses schedules with 52, 78, 156, or 182.5 overnights depending on the rotation. That's why a 2-2-3 plan can affect support differently from an every-other-weekend plan.
