A parenting plan is a written document confirming what the parents have agreed to with respect to their children. It is signed and dated by both parents, but is not lodged with the court (in the way that consent orders are). Parenting plans are not legally binding and cannot be enforced by the court.
The costs involved in establishing a parenting plan include a filing fee of $200-$250, photocopying fees, and (possibly) fees for service (delivering the papers to the other parent or other parties). If you cannot afford the filing fee, you may use a special form which may let you file without paying the filing fee.
In both Washington and Oregon, a child can only choose which parent they'd like to live with when they turn 18 or are otherwise emancipated. Minor children are not considered capable of making such decisions for themselves and are not permitted to choose living with one parent over another.
An acknowledged father or mother may file a petition to ask the court for a residential schedule/parenting plan or child support order four years or more after the Acknowledgment of Parentage they signed was filed with the Washington State Registrar of Vital Statistics.

Step 1: Understand your child's best interests. Step 2: Choose a parenting schedule that works. Step 3: Have a plan for communication. Step 4: Know how you will make big decisions and handle legal custody. Step 5: Go over your child's finances. Step 6: Maintain your goals.
If the Acknowledgment is signed and filed within five days of the child's birth, there is no filing fee. Once the Acknowledgment of Paternity is properly filed with the Center for Health Statistics, the father is the legal father of the child and his name will be included on the child's birth certificate.
