The Iowa Proposed Parenting Plan is a family law form developed by the Iowa Supreme Court for use by parties to a divorce or other family law proceedings in which custody or visitation of a child is an issue. It is designed to help parents create an agreement to meet the best interests of the child. The plan includes provisions relating to legal and physical custody, visitation, education, health care, decision-making authority, communication between the parents, and dispute resolution. There are three types of Iowa Proposed Parenting Plans: The Joint Physical Custody Plan, The Primary Physical Custody Plan, and The Split Physical Custody Plan. The Joint Physical Custody Plan provides for the child to live with both parents, with each parent having significant time with the child. The Primary Physical Custody Plan provides for the child to live primarily with one parent while the other parent has a schedule of visitation. The Split Physical Custody Plan provides for the child to live with each parent on a more or less equal basis.
