In the event that the parents fail to reach an agreement on how to divide the custody between them after divorce, the competent court shall indicate how to divide joint custody, whether on a weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis or in any other way that takes into account the best interest of the child in custody. The division includes a statement of the distribution of leaves and public holidays, and the competent court may apply any of the following distributions: 1. Weekly alternation of custody: The child in custody spends one week with the father and the following week with the mother, and so on continuously throughout the year. 2. Semi-monthly alternation of custody: The child in custody spends two consecutive weeks with the father and two consecutive weeks with the mother, and so on consecutively throughout the year. 3. Monthly alternation of custody: The child in custody spends a month with the father and the following month with the mother, and so on consecutively throughout the year. 4. Any other arrangements that the competent court deems necessary to achieve the interests of the child in custody.
