Fair is not a governing criteria for a parenting plan. The statute has a long list of criteria that must be considered to meet the "best interest of the child" standard by which parenting plans are governed.
There is no such thing as "fair" in these situations. If this is what is agreed to then it would be the wishes of both parties. If either party does not agree then they should not sign the agreement.
All cases are fact and circumstance specific, so what is fair for one, may not be fair for someone else. The bottom line is either the parties determine what is fair or the judge will.
