PARENTING PLAN - Cont'd (2) 1. Information about the children Full Name Date of birth Gender Social Security No.
Consider what type of custody arrangement seems most suitable. The following definitions may be helpful: "Joint custody" or "joint legal custody" or “shared decision making” are terms which describe the legal relationship between parent and child when the parents are married. That is, each parent has full access to medical, psychological, and school records. Each parent has the right to have a say in major decisions in the child's life. Most couples maintain this legal relationship to their children after the divorce. "Sole custody" describes a relationship where only one of the parents has theright to make major decisions in the child's life, to have access to school records, etc. "Residential custody" is the term often applied to describe the parental relationship in the home which is to be considered the primary residence of the child. "Joint residential custody" would imply that the child's time is to be split between the two homes and that the parents are therefore sharing residential custody. "Split custody" is a term used to describe a situation where there are severalchildren and each parent has residential custody of some of the children. Thus, it is possible for each parent to retain "joint legal custody" over all children, while engaging in any form of residential custody to which the parents may agree. 2. Parenting Time Schedule RESIDENCE SCHEDULE Propose a residence schedule, and the sharing of significant calendar dates. You are encouraged to propose time schedules that are practical, realistic, and suitable for your personal schedule as well as accommodating to the probable schedule of the alternate parent. In exchanging and allocating time available, consider not only alternate days, but alternate years (for example odd and even numbered years). 2.1 Weekday and Weekend Schedule
