What Missouri expects
Missouri requires each party to file a proposed parenting plan, and the statute is unusually prescriptive — it enumerates the required contents down to how the exchange happens and how expenses are allocated.
Governing law: Mo. Rev. Stat. § 452.310.
Missouri requires its own form — Proposed Parenting Plan (required by § 452.310). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
