Draft Your Plan FreeWhat's Included

Parenting plans, made local

Parents in Georgia use a parenting plan to put the schedule, holidays, and decision-making in writing so there is less to argue about later. The Superior Court reviews these arrangements with the child's best interest as the standard.

Because Georgia handles this as legal and physical custody, plus a parenting time schedule, the builder maps your answers to those pieces and produces a tidy draft you can finish and save at FamilyCourtHelp.com.

How custody works in Georgia

In Georgia, custody and parenting time are decided in the Superior Court, and the judge's guide is always the best interest of the child.

Georgia frames the arrangement as legal and physical custody, plus a parenting time schedule. Your parenting plan is where that gets written down — the regular schedule, holidays, exchanges, and who makes the big decisions — so the court can see a clear, workable setup.

What your plan should cover

  • Regular schedule — who has the children which days and nights (legal and physical custody).
  • Holidays, birthdays, and school breaks — alternate or split each year.
  • Summer and long-weekend time.
  • Exchanges — where and when handoffs happen, and who drives.
  • Decision-making — school, medical, religion, and activities.
  • Communication — how co-parents reach each other and the children.
  • Travel and relocation rules.

Choosing a schedule

Common schedules Georgia families use include week-on/week-off (50/50), a 2-2-3 rotation, every-other-weekend with a mid-week visit, and primary time with one parent. Pick a starting point in the builder and adjust it to fit your work and the kids' school.

Filing your Georgia parenting plan

When your draft is ready, you finish and file it through your local Superior Court and Georgia's own court self-help resources. ParentingPlanBuilder.org gives you self-help tools and general information, not legal advice.
