required. The Parenting Plan must be created and agreed upon by the parents and approved by the court.

At Barkus Law, we offer free Florida family law and divorce forms on our website for people to download. These documents share general information to couples and families, but it is not legal advice. For this post, I wanted to focus on the free online Florida Parenting Plan form. This Parenting Plan form comes with a set of instructions that explains when to use this form and how to fill it out.

Below, we have shared links to three different plans of form:

Parenting Plan

Parenting Plan Long Distance Relocation

Parenting Plan Supervised Safety

The Parenting Plan is required in all cases when the spouses will be time-sharing with a minor child or children even when the time-sharing is not in dispute. If the parties cannot agree on a Parenting Plan or if the parties cannot agree to a plan that is not approved by the court, the plan will be created by the court. If the Parenting Plan including supervised time-sharing or relocation/long distance, then the parties must fill out the appropriate form and not the general Parenting Plan form.

Overall, the Parenting Plan should describe: how the parties will share and be responsible for daily tasks with the child/children; time-sharing schedules; who will be responsible for health care, school, and other activities the children partake in; and how the parents plan to communicate with child/children.
