Special notes...
At a minimum, the Parenting Plan must describe in adequate detail:
 How the parties will share and be responsible for the daily tasks associated with the upbringing of
the child(ren),
 The time-sharing schedule arrangements that specify the time that the minor child(ren) will
spend with each parent,
 A designation of who will be responsible for any and all forms of health care, school-related
matters, including the address to be used for school-boundary determination and registration,
other activities, and
 The methods and technologies that the parents will use to communicate with the child(ren).
The best interests of the child(ren) is the primary consideration in the Parenting Plan. In creating the
Parenting Plan, all circumstances between the parents, including their historic relationship, domestic
violence, and other factors must be taken into consideration. Determination of the best interests of the
child(ren) shall be made by evaluating all of the factors affecting the welfare and interest of the
particular minor child(ren) and the circumstances of that family, as listed in section 61.13(3), Florida
Statutes, including, but not limited to:
Instructions for Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.995(a), Parenting Plan (11/15)
