Draft Your Plan FreeWhat's Included

Parenting plans, made local

In Ohio, a good parenting plan covers four things: the regular time-sharing schedule, holidays and school breaks, decision-making, and how parents communicate and handle exchanges. Family cases here generally go through the Court of Common Pleas (Domestic Relations).

Ohio describes custody as parental rights and responsibilities (a shared parenting plan). Drafting it yourself first — for free — means you walk in organized instead of starting from a blank page.

What your plan should cover

  • Regular schedule — who has the children which days and nights (parental rights and responsibilities (a shared parenting plan)).
  • 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 Ohio 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.

Frequently asked questions

  • It helps, but you can draft a proposed plan on your own and bring it to mediation or court. A clear written plan gives the Court of Common Pleas (Domestic Relations) a concrete starting point built around the child's best interest.
