The most common arrangement is one in which one parent has sole physical custody, both parents have legal custody, and the noncustodial parent is granted visitation time.
A parenting time schedule. Information about how the parents will make decisions for the child. Information about finances and expenses. Parenting provisions (rules about raising the child) Any other information you want to include.
Write clearly and concisely. Include all pertinent information, but only facts relevant to the case at hand. If you are not a party, explain your role or interest in the case and your relationship to a party. Don't forget to sign and date the statement.
A declaration of custody. The division of parental authority and decision-making abilities. A child visitation schedule. Methods for reviewing and modifying the custody agreement. A method of dispute resolution. Any additional provisions you would like to include.
The physical well-being of the child: For example, focus on your child's routine, sleeping habits, eating schedule, and after-school activities. The psychological well-being of the child: For example, making sure that the child has access to liberal visitation with the other parent.
Write clearly, and use your own words. Use bulleted lists for your major points. Don't insult or bash your ex. Attach evidence such as pay stubs or bank statements, but redact SSN and account numbers. Affirm that you are making your statement under oath, and under penalty of perjury.
You will usually file a parentage case or a petition for a parenting plan. If the parents agree on a proposed Parenting Plan, the court will usually approve it. If you do not agree, the court will enter a Parenting Plan after a hearing or trial. The court will look at many things.
The statement must be signed, dated and contain a declaration that you believe the statement is true and recognise it may be placed before the court. On the top left-hand side of your statement, detail the court in capital letters, e.g. IN THE LONDON FAMILY COURT and the case number on the top right-hand side.
If you have young children, the best custody arrangement might be one in which the kids stay in one home throughout the week and visit the other parent's home on a few evenings or for some time on weekends. Older kids might prefer the 2-2-3 parenting schedule, or even the week-on, week-off joint custody schedule.
