Parenting Plan Templates

Create clear, practical parenting arrangements after separation

A parenting plan is a written agreement between separated parents that sets out how they will share responsibility and care for their children. While it’s not a legal document on its own, it can help avoid misunderstandings and provide stability for your family. At Easy Separation UK, we provide solicitor-approved parenting plan templates that help you structure agreed arrangements and prepare for formal child agreements if needed.

Whether you’re creating an informal agreement or submitting a child arrangement order, our templates make it easier to communicate, document, and stay consistent.

What is a parenting plan?

A parenting plan outlines how parents will manage everyday care, holidays, school decisions, and communication. It encourages cooperation and helps reduce conflict by setting expectations in writing.

Common sections include:

  • Where the children will live
  • Contact schedules and overnight stays
  • School holidays and special occasions
  • Parental communication methods
  • Decision-making responsibilities
  • How to handle changes or disagreements

Who should use one?

Parents going through divorce or separation
Those wanting a structured plan without court involvement
Couples applying for a Child Arrangement Order
Parents using our Divorce with Child Arrangements service
Families wanting long-term consistency and reduced conflict

Does the court accept parenting plans?

While a parenting plan is not legally binding, it can be submitted to court as evidence of what both parents agreed. If you want your plan to be legally recognised, we can help you convert it into a Child Arrangement Order during the divorce process.
