(Per Parenting Act-Neb. Rev. Stat. 43-2913- (1998) only non-financial matters should be
included)
A. Acknowledgement: We are both dedicated parents, who although separated, want the
best for our child/ren. This involves the child/ren having a meaningful and positive
relationship with each of us. In light of our common concern for our child/ren, we are
entering into this parenting plan.
B. Custody and Primary Residence: Mother/Father will have Legal custody (decision
making) of the child/ren. Mother/Father will have Physical Custody (primary residence)
of the child/ren.
C. Regular Parenting Time – Specific pick up and return times for regular time-
sharing (a default arrangement the parents agree to follow unless they mutually decide
otherwise): Weekends, weekdays, transportation responsibilities; notice of change of
plans; flexibility; three and four day weekends; snow days.
D. Holiday Schedule – Specific pick up and return times and definition of the time
frames for holidays so the parties have the same understanding of what constitutes the
time structure for each holiday:

Christmas Eve
Christmas Day
New Year’s
Passover / Easter

notice to be given for intended vacation dates, emergency phone numbers where the
