Parenting Plan Details

Children Covered by This Agreement *

List each child's full name and date of birth. The agreement applies to all named children. Future children may require a separate agreement or amendment.

Physical Custody Arrangement * Select… Equal (50/50) — week-on/week-off or 2-2-3 rotation Primary with Parent 1 — alternating weekends with Parent 2 Primary with Parent 2 — alternating weekends with Parent 1 Custom schedule (detailed in agreement)

Research shows children benefit from meaningful time with both parents. The 2-2-3 schedule (two days with one parent, two with the other, then three, alternating) works well for younger children.

Legal Custody Joint Legal Custody — both parents share major decisions Sole Legal Custody — Parent 1 makes major decisions Sole Legal Custody — Parent 2 makes major decisions

Legal custody governs major decisions: education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Joint legal custody is the default in most states and requires meaningful cooperation on decisions.

Holiday & School Break Schedule Alternating years — each parent gets major holidays every other year Fixed split — specified holidays always with each parent Even/odd years for each holiday category Custom holiday schedule (specified)

Clearly specify Thanksgiving, winter break, spring break, Mother's/Father's Day, and birthdays. Holiday schedules override the regular rotation when they overlap.

Child Support Arrangement Per state child support guidelines (court-ordered) Agreed amount between parents No child support — equal custody, equal expenses

Child support is typically calculated using state income-sharing formulas. Parents can agree to different amounts, but courts must approve and may reject agreements that are not in the child's best interest.

Dispute Resolution Mediation required before returning to court Parenting coordinator for day-to-day disputes Court resolution for all disputes

Mediation is significantly less expensive and less adversarial than court proceedings. A parenting coordinator is a neutral professional who makes binding decisions on smaller disagreements.
