How do I create a swap days request?

You will need to use a Parenting Calendar to create a swap days request.  We specifically created a Parenting Calendar option for users to keep track of their parenting schedule and/or any swap days requests if they so choose.  If you do not have a Parenting Calendar, go to How do I add a parenting calendar? and then follow the instructions below to create a swap days request.

Select “Parenting Calendar” or the child’s parenting calendar (e.g. “Dylan – Parenting Calendar”) you want to use for this swap days request. If this request applies to more than one child, you will be able to merge this request with another child’s parenting calendar in a later step.
