PARENTING PLAN
You must submit to the Court some form of written Parenting Plan addressing all of the issues which are relevant
to the facts of your case. The written Parenting Plan must contain provisions for the allocation of parental
responsibilities including decision-making and parenting time. You may use this form as a Parenting Plan to submit
to the Court. This standard form does not include every possible issue that may be relevant to the facts of your
case. A section entitled "Other Terms" is available for you to identify unique issues that you may have in your case.
If you need more space than is provided, attach additional pages to the form. Any additional pages must
include signatures.
To promote agreement among parties where the children are involved, parties may jointly create a written Parenting
Plan. If you do not enter into a joint written Parenting Plan, you must each file your own written Parenting Plan.
Without an agreement, the Court must enter its own plan which may be a plan filed by one of the parties or may be
entirely different. Whether the Court approves your plan or enters its own, the Parenting Plan will become a Court
Order.
This is a:
Full Joint Parenting Plan (we agree to everything and the plan is signed by both parties.)
Partial Joint Parenting Plan (we agree to some things and the plan is signed by both parties.)
Parenting Plan prepared by one party (no agreement).
If this is a partial joint Parenting Plan or a Parenting Plan prepared by one party, please complete and file with the
Court JDF 1129 - Pretrial Statement to identify issues that you have not agreed on. This is a required form if
you have any issues that you cannot agree on. A hearing may be necessary to address the issues.
The Petitioner is the child(ren)’s:
