Pascale v. Pascale

In Pascale v. Pascale, 140 N.J. 583, 660 A.2d 485 (1995), the parents were granted joint custody with a visitation schedule for the father that included two evenings a week, a 24-hour overnight visit every weekend, and alternating holidays. In the summer, the father had overnight visits for two weekdays as well. The Pascale court noted that "although there is no established norm for joint physical custody, experts cite common schedules for a child within a joint physical custody framework as spending three entire days with one parent and four entire days with another parent or alternating weeks or even years with each parent." 140 N.J. at 596-97, 660 A.2d at 492.
