Affleck said the children spend one week with him and one week with Garner, and he rated his own parenting at 75% relative to Garner's, while the children rated his parenting at 40%. The source does not explain how these ratings were gathered or measured.

Family Dynamics
Equal weekly custody splits, like the one Affleck described, have become a common public model for separated celebrity parents raising children across two households.
For Los Angeles families navigating separation, the one-week-on, one-week-off model shows how children can keep consistent routines and time with both parents. Shared outings like neighborhood runs can also be a practical way to maintain family connection during custody transitions.
The takeaway
Consistent routines and shared family time can help children adjust across two households after a divorce. Parents can prioritize predictable schedules and joint activities to support their children's stability.
