Statute Text
Parenting plan; content.
(1) In any proceeding to establish or modify a judgment providing for parenting
time with a child, except for matters filed under ORS 107.700 to 107.735, there
shall be developed and filed with the court a parenting plan to be included in
the judgment. A parenting plan may be either general or detailed.
(2) A general
parenting plan may include a general outline of how parental responsibilities
and parenting time will be shared and may allow the parents to develop a more
detailed agreement on an informal basis. However, a general parenting plan must
set forth the minimum amount of parenting time and access a noncustodial parent
is entitled to have.
(3) A detailed
parenting plan may include, but need not be limited to, provisions relating to:
(a) Residential
schedule;
(b) Holiday,
birthday and vacation planning;
(c) Weekends,
including holidays, and school in-service days preceding or following weekends;
(d)
Decision-making and responsibility;
(e) Information
sharing and access;
(f) Relocation of
parents;
(g) Telephone
access;
(h)
Transportation; and
(i) Methods for
resolving disputes.
(4) In addition
to the provisions listed in subsection (3) of this section, a detailed
parenting plan may include one or both of the following requirements:
(a) That the
custodial parent notify the noncustodial parent regarding specified matters
concerning the child.
(b) That the
custodial parent provide the noncustodial parent with an opportunity to comment
regarding specified matters concerning the child.
(5)(a) The court
shall develop a detailed parenting plan when:
(A) So requested
by either parent; or
(B) The parent or
parents are unable to develop a parenting plan.
(b) In developing
a parenting plan under this subsection, the court may consider only the best
interests of the child and the safety of the parties.
(c) In developing
a parenting plan under this subsection, the court may order equal parenting
time. If a parent requests that the court order equal parenting time in the
parenting plan, the court may deny the request if the court determines, by
written findings, that equal parenting time is not in the best interests of the
child or endangers the safety of the parties. [1997 c.707 §2; 2019 c.288 §1;
