Parenting plan

Put the parenting plan in writing.

Covers physical custody schedule, legal custody, decision-making authority, communication rules, holiday schedule, relocation policy, and dispute resolution. A template — it must be submitted to and approved by the court before it has any legal effect.

IMPORTANT — UPL NOTICE: This is a TEMPLATE parenting plan only. Parenting plans must be approved by a judge applying the best-interests-of-the-child standard. Judges have strong opinions on plan language and each state and county has required formats. SynthCounsel is not a law firm and this is not legal advice. ALWAYS verify your county’s required parenting-plan format before filing.
