Parenting plan template

    The Haevn teamLast checked

    This free parenting plan template helps two parents write down what they agree about their children's care across two homes. It is a template, not legal advice and not a court order.

    For a fuller version with prompts for each topic, use the official Cafcass parenting plan.

    Fill in each heading below, then print. It prints on A4 and may run to two pages. Nothing you type is sent to Haevn.

    What goes in a parenting plan?

    Off unless you tick it. When on, the plan is kept in this browser only, never sent to Haevn. Untick it or press Clear to remove it.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it really free?
    Yes. There is no payment, no trial and no sign-up. The template works in your browser and nothing you type is sent to Haevn.
    Is a parenting plan legally binding?
    A plan you write yourselves is not a court order. For legal questions, see Cafcass or a solicitor.
    Where is my plan saved?
    Nowhere, unless you choose. What you type stays on this page and clears when you leave or reload. If you tick 'Remember on this device', it is kept in this browser only, never sent to Haevn, until you untick it or press Clear.
    How long is the printout?
    It prints on A4. A short plan fits on one page; with longer answers it may run to two pages.
