Draft Your Plan FreeWhat's Included

Parenting plans, made local

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

Because Kentucky 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 Kentucky

In Kentucky, a custody case is generally filed in the Family Court for the county where the child lives, and the court decides based on the child's best interest.

Because Kentucky treats custody as legal and physical custody, plus a parenting time schedule, your plan should spell out the regular schedule, holidays, exchanges, and how you and your co-parent make decisions together.

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 Kentucky 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.
