What Georgia expects
Georgia requires a parenting plan in every custody case and is specific about content: it must recite where the child sleeps each night of the year, allocate decision-making by subject, and set out transportation arrangements for exchanges.
Governing law: O.C.G.A. § 19-9-1.
Georgia requires its own form — Parenting Plan (required by O.C.G.A. § 19-9-1). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
The simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
