Advice:How have you split time with kids with your ex?

[piddocktrumperiness]

Hi everyone. My ExH has finally come to the realisation that he should be seeing our son (16yrs) more often. He currently only sees him every other weekend. He's left me with figuring out days.
I was hoping for ideas really and any advice or wisdom from experience on how to split the week? I'd like to balance seeing my son, with time for myself (I am single and dating), so would like a healthy balance.
I have heard of one week on one week off, but that would block off an entire week and if I was to join clubs or gyms or whatever, that might make this less flexible.
I have also heard of 3 nights in a row, but not sure how the weekends play out in this case.

Any ideas?
Thank you!

With a 16 year old I would ask your son what arrangement would suit him?

I agree at 16 contact should be discussed between father and son.

We did eow and one night in the week until mine were 14/15. Now they make their own arrangements with their father based on how busy they are with gcse/A level work. I'd say they go less often now that they're older.

Thanks everyone
I have asked him, and he's not really fussed at all.

This is our way, a 2 week plan;
Every Sunday evening DC with me as always starting the week same place gives some stability and makes getting ready for school simpler.
Following my weekend DC go to dad's Monday night
Here Tues, Weds, Thurs
To dad's Friday after school til Sunday evening then here Mon, Tues,
Dad's Weds, Thurs
Here the weekend

Changes in holidays to more of a 3/4 nights per week split.

I'd prefer eow and one night at dad's, he'd prefer them to stay Sunday after his weekend.

Another way we considered was every Thurs at dad's then eow. But DC were much younger than yours and a whole week without seeing him felt too much.
