Parenting plans, made local
A parenting plan is the written agreement that says when the children are with each parent, how holidays are split, who makes big decisions, and how co-parents talk. In Indiana, custody matters are generally handled through the Circuit and Superior Courts, which looks at the child's best interest.
Indiana frames this as legal and physical custody, plus a parenting time schedule. You do not need perfect legal wording to start — you need a clear, complete plan. The builder organizes every part so nothing is missed.
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 Indiana 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.
