Florida law note: A Parenting Plan (Form 12.995(a)) is mandatory in every Florida case involving minor children — dissolution, paternity, or modification. It must address time-sharing, decision-making, communication, and a schedule for holidays and school breaks. The court will not enter a final judgment without an approved Parenting Plan.
