Simply put, parenting time is the actual time each parent has with their children daily and/or weekly.  It is the physical “custody” of the children.  A parenting plan also sets forth the regular parenting time schedule, vacation time and holiday time so that both parents (and children) are aware well in advance of how the children will spend holiday and vacation time with each parent.  Regular parenting time can range from the proverbial every other weekend to a full equal, time sharing arrangement between the parents.

Most parenting plans are based upon the individualities of the child or children themselves.  While some children are very young, they may follow a parenting plan that is appropriate for their age group or unique characteristics of that child.  An older child may determine his or her own relationship with each parent, especially if they have reached the age and maturity to drive.  A parenting plan can also contain terms that are somewhere between these two scenarios.  If there are multiple children spanning various stages, there may be a different schedule for different children.
