Custody

A parenting plan is a document that describes when each parent will have parenting time with the children. It may include how decisions will be made and how the parents will communicate with each other about the children. Your parenting plan can be general or detailed, but it must say the minimum time the children will spend with each parent.¹

In custody cases and divorce cases involving children, you need to create and file a parenting plan. After the judge orders or approves your parenting plan, it becomes part of your custody order or divorce judgment.² 

You can see guides for making a parenting plan on the Oregon Courts website. If you have safety concerns, you can use the Safety Focused Parenting Plan Guide.
