FORM 12.995(a),
PARENTING PLAN (11/15)
When should this form be used?
A Parenting Plan is required in all cases involving time-sharing with minor child(ren), even when time-
sharing is not in dispute. The Parenting Plan must be developed and agreed to by the parents and
approved by the court. If the parties cannot agree to a Parenting Plan or if the parents agreed to a plan
that is not approved by the court, a Parenting Plan will be established by the court with or without the
use of parenting plan recommendations. This form or a similar form should be used in the development
of a Parenting Plan. If the case involves supervised time-sharing, the Supervised/Safety Focused
Parenting Plan, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.995(b) or a similar form should be
used. If the case involves relocation, pursuant to Section 61.13001, Florida Statutes, then a
Relocation/Long Distance Parenting Plan, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.995(c)
or a similar form should be used.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. Please either delete or strike-through terms or
paragraphs that are inappropriate or inapplicable to your agreement. If an agreement has been reached,
both parties must sign the Parenting Plan and have their signatures witnessed by a notary public or
deputy clerk. After completing this form, you should file the original with the clerk of the circuit court
in the county where the petition was filed and keep a copy for your records. You should then refer to
the instructions for your petition, answer, or answer and counterpetition concerning the procedures for
setting a hearing or trial (final hearing). If the parents have not reached an agreement, a proposed
Parenting Plan may be filed by either parent at the time of or any time prior to the final hearing. If an
agreed Parenting Plan is not filed by the parties, the court shall establish a Plan.
