Instructions for Dissolution with Minor Children Background The Petition is a basic document for filing in a dissolution.

The Petition formally begins a lawsuit. The Petition and the accompanying documents are an agreement reached between your spouse and yourself. The Petition must be filed with the Court and a Waiver of Service of Summons needs to be executed in order to avoid additional court costs and the requirement of service. Completing the Petition The top section of the Petition (caption) contains identifying information about the case: the name of the case, case number, name of the document, and the name of petitioners. This information reappears at the top of each court document. Do not fill in the case number (Case No. _____-DS- _____) and the judges name. This information will be added by the Clerk of Courts when you file your case. You and your spouse begin the filing of the Petition and will always be known as petitioners. Print or type your name and address on the lines above the word petitioner No. 1 and then print or type your spouses name and address on the line above the word petitioner No. 2. Paragraph 1. Residency: This paragraph confirms to the court that you have been a resident of the State of Ohio for at least six (6) months to be eligible to file for dissolution. If you do not meet this requirement, then you are not eligible to file in this court unless your spouse meets both requirements at the time you file. Paragraph 2. Marriage: Print the name of the city or county where you were married and the date you were married. Paragraph 3. Children: This verifies that there are children of this marriage with their names and dates of birth. Paragraph 4. Pregnancy: Check whether or not the female spouse is pregnant. Paragraph 5. Separation Agreement: A Separation Agreement must be provided for the Court to consider a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. It must be completed in full. The Separation Agreement should contain all assets and liabilities and how the petitioners wish to distribute said assets and liabilities. In the event that the petitioners will not enter into a Shared-Parenting Agreement, then the Separation Agreement must contain the information regarding parental rights and responsibilities, spousal support, child support and healthcare information. Paragraph 6. Shared-Parenting Agreement: If the petitioners wish to enter into a Shared Parenting Agreement it must be completed and contain all information set forth pursuant to both the outline and the agreement.

Standard Parenting Time/Companionship/Visitation Schedule. This is a guideline to assist you in filling out the Shared-Parenting Plan or the Separation Agreement that will provide for parenting time with your minor children. You are required to fill out New Case Designation Form. That form is self-explanatory.

In the event that you wish to file with a minimal court cost or no court costs, or are wishing to have the court costs waived, it is necessary to fill out Indigency Affidavit and Motion to Proceed without advancing Filing Fee Deposit. In a dissolution you will need to fill out the Waiver of Service of Summons which is selfexplanatory. You will need to fill out the Judgment Entry of Dissolution form and bring it with you to your court hearing.

SHARED PARENTING PLAN OUTLINE

The following outline is intended to assist in the preparation of a complete shared parenting plan that conforms to the mandatory statutory provisions and the provisions required by the Holmes County Domestic Relations Court. Optional provisions may be added. All shared parenting plans must be attached to and accompanied by a petition for shared parenting signed by one parent (in the event of a single plan) or both parents(if a joint plan). By statute, 30 days must expire between the filing of the petition and plan and the granting of a final decree of shared parenting. This 30-day waiting period is consecutive with the 30-day waiting period from the filing of a petition for dissolution and the final hearing when shared parenting is part of a dissolution. In post-decree matters, the follow-up 30-day hearing must be set before a judge. In the case of new, settled divorce cases, the 30-day waiting period may be waived by a specific provision in the shared parenting plan decree so the divorce decree and shared parenting decree can be filed simultaneously. Below, are those provisions which need to be included in a shared parenting plan.

1. DESIGNATION OF THE ELIGIBILITY FOR AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN BENEFITS: A child's primary residence must be designated (or the designation of one parent as residential parent for the purpose of ADC eligibility) if one of the parties is in receipt of ADC to assure the continued eligibility of these benefits. 2. PHYSICAL LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: This section needs to describe the regular living schedule of the child in each parent's home. It is important to keep in mind that a pattern which would be appropriate for a preschool-age child may have to be altered once the child is attending school, and to the extent that the parties are able to project into the future and provide for a reasonable and practical plan for the child, this may be an appropriate section to provide for such changes. While it is not mandatory, the parties may wish to designate one party's home as the "primary residence" and another party's home as the "secondary residence". IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO DESIGNATE ONLY ONE OF THE PARENTS AS THE "RESIDENTIAL PARENT" IN A SHARED PARENTING PLAN. "Residential parent" means sole, legal custodian. In a shared parenting plan, both parents are legal custodians of the children, and the use of the term "residential parent" for one parent only is contradictory to the shared parenting concept. It is also not appropriate to state that each parent is the residential parent and legal custodian when the child/children are residing with that parent. ORC 3109.04(K)(6) EXCEPTION: The statute does permit the designation of one parent as the residential parent for school purposes or as residential parent for tax exemption purposes or as residential parent for purposes of ADC eligibility but those specific designations do not effect the status of both parents as residential parents and legal custodians of the child(ren).

3. HOLIDAYS, VACATIONS, ETC.: In spite of the fact that the living arrangements for the children may have been fully described, a specific provision must be included in a shared parenting plan for sharing the major holidays, vacations, birthdays, etc. This is also the appropriate section to include any provision for visitation with grandparents or other relatives. The Standard Order of Parenting Time may be incorporated in part or in whole in the plan.

4. SCHOOL: The statutory scheme mandates the designation of a school district. Our court recognizes the difficulty in those cases where the children are not of school age and the living arrangements of the parties at the time of a new decree may be somewhat temporary and subject to change. The provision should deal with the issue of school placement to the extent that the parties can determine the most likely possibility at the time the matter is before the court. An acceptable alternative is to designate the school district where either the mother or father resides. AGREEMENTS TO AGREE WHEN THE CHILDREN REACH SCHOOL AGE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. 5. CHILD SUPPORT: A Sole Residential/Shared Parenting child support computation sheet must be prepared as part of a shared parenting plan. The required statutory computation worksheet for shared parenting is the same worksheet that would be used in a sole custody situation.

THERE IS NO SEPARATE LEGISLATIVELY APPROVED "SHARED PARENTING" COMPUTATION OR FORMULA. In the event one parent is providing the "primary residence" for one child and the other parent is providing

"primary residence" for another child or children, you may wish to substitute a "Split Parental Rights" child support computation sheet to arrive at a more equitable child support order. Deviations from the guideline-suggested amount must be explained in financial or monetary terms on line 27 of the computation sheet. Criteria for deviation from the guidelines are enumerated in R.C. 3119.22 and 3119.23 and in addition, there are some specific "extraordinary circumstances" applicable to shared parenting orders which are enumerated in R.C. 3119.24(B)(1) through (4) and read as follows: (i) The amount of time that the children spend with each parent; (ii) The ability of each parent to maintain adequate housing for the children; (iii) Each parent's expenses, including but not limited to child care expenses, school tuition, medical expenses, and dental expenses. It is common to have deviations from the child support guidelines in shared parenting cases; however, it is by no means considered automatic for neither party to pay support just because it is a "shared parenting." Where a disparity of income exists and/or a disparity of physical care of the children exists, the exchange of child support is still considered appropriate and equitable. For the most part, only cases where there is equal income and equal time spent in each household will a lack of child support exchange be considered equitable, provided, there are adequate provisions for all of the children's financial needs incorporated in the plan (See paragraph 6). Child support must be stated in a monthly cycle only, stated per child, and rounded off to the nearest dollar. EMANCIPATION: Effective 1-1-98, the emancipation law in Ohio was revised as follows: ...Except in cases in which a child support order requires the duty of support to continue for any period after the child reaches age nineteen, the order shall not remain in effect after the child reaches age nineteen... All child support orders must specifically address whether or not child support will continue after the child reaches age 19 and is not yet graduated from high school. 6. OTHER CHILD-RELATED FINANCIAL MATTERS: Where no child support is being exchanged or the child support to be exchanged is significantly less than the guideline amount, a provision for an appropriate sharing of financial expenses of the child or children, including but not limited to employment-related child care, clothing, school fees, camp or sports fees, lessons and extracurricular activities, needs to be included.

7. PROVISION FOR CHILD/CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS: A full Medical Support of Children provision must be included in every shared parenting plan. The parties must complete the attached: (1) Private Heath Insurance Questionnaire; and (2) Health Care Determinations form, both of which are available online. A reference to the Medical Support of Children Order, which will be issued separately by the court, must be included as well as the attachment and incorporation by reference of the Private Heath Insurance Questionnaire and the Health Care Determinations form. 8. TAX EXEMPTIONS: Since both parties are custodial parents, the tax law is of little assistance for determining who will be entitled to claim the children as dependents for tax purposes. That issue must be addressed in the shared parenting plan. It is also appropriate to require the parent who will not be getting the tax exemption or will not be getting it for a particular year to cooperate and execute any and all forms required by the Internal Revenue Service. 9. PARENTS' LIFE INSURANCE FOR BENEFIT OF CHILDREN: The child/children or other parent needs to be made beneficiary of any existing life insurance plan, especially one which is provided as an employment benefit, so long as the children remain unemancipated. 10. OUT-OF-STATE RELOCATION: The following language is required in all shared parenting plans: Neither parent shall relocate the children out of state without first obtaining a modified visitation order. The parties may submit an agreed order modifying visitation, with a provision for allocation of transportation expenses, to the court for adoption by the court as an order. If the parents are unable to agree, the moving parent shall, prior to relocation, 1) file a motion asking the court to modify the visitation schedule; 2) set a hearing; and 3) obtain a modified visitation order. No continuances of the hearing will be granted without written permission of the assigned judge or magistrate.

11. ACCESS TO CHILD'S/CHILDREN'S RECORDS: The following language is required in all shared parenting plans: Both parents shall have access to the same records, same school activities and to any day-care center which the children attend on the same basis that said records or access is legally permitted to a custodial parent, unless a restrictive order has been obtained from the court. It is the responsibility of the parent obtaining a restrictive order to serve it on the appropriate organization.

12. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE OF RESIDENCE OF EITHER PARENT: The following language is required in all shared parenting plans: Both parents shall give written notice to the other parent immediately upon any change of address and/or phone number unless a restrictive order has been obtained from the court. A copy of the notice shall be provided to the Holmes County Common Pleas Court, 1 East Jackson Street, Millersburg, Ohio 44654. 13. RELIGIOUS TRAINING: Any agreement reached between the parents on religious training, if appropriate, may be included in the shared parenting plan.

14. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS: The parents may wish to include provisions concerning cooperation, open communication, encouragement of love and affection for the other parent, etc. Post high school education costs may be addressed in the plan as well as any other matter of importance to the parents. 15. MODIFICATION OF SHARED PARENTING PLAN: A method for modification of the shared parenting plan may be included in the plan. The most typical provisions are: a. any modification shall be in writing, signed by both parties; b. modification shall be in accordance with R.C. 3109.04(E)(2)(a) or (b); c. parties shall engage in mediation to resolve any disputes that arise and shall share costs of mediation equally before filing any motion in court to modify this plan.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS DIVISION OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS HOLMES COUNTY, OHIO

Case No.: Plaintiff JUDGE ROBERT D. RINFRET -vs-

SHARED PARENTING PLAN Defendant :

This Shared Parenting Plan, by and between and

hereinafter referred to as Father

hereinafter referred to as Mother is submitted by Mother and/or Father

Both parents hereby request the Court, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 3109.04 (D)(1)(a)(i, ii, or iii) to grant the parents the shared parenting of their child(ren): (Include dates of birth) . Neither parent expects opposition to this plan from the other. Each parent is a caring and appropriate parent with the ability to provide guidance, concern and a proper home environment for the minor children. Neither parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a violation of Ohio Revised Code section 2919.25 involving a family member, any other offense which resulted in physical harm to a family member, has been determined to be the perpetrator of an abusive act that is the basis of an adjudication that a child is an abused child or has acted or contributed in any manner resulting in a child being a neglected child. The parties acknowledge that each has the present ability to cooperate and make decisions jointly with respect to the minor children and the ability to encourage the sharing of love, affection and contact between the minor children and each parent. The parents shall discuss and resolve all major issues jointly. The geographic proximity of the parties to each other is not considered to be a barrier and makes the concept of shared parenting a realistic alternative. Both parents have read the Shared Parenting Outline that is one of the Holmes County forms available online. The provisions of this Shared Parenting Plan are entered into with those principles in mind.

PARENTING TIME/COMPANIONSHIP/VISITATION SCHEDULES LOCAL RULE 25(A)

(F) Visitation. (1) General Provisions. Visitation is a time for children to do things with the parent they do not live with. Activities the non-residential parent does with the children or skills taught to the children help the time to be rewarding. Helping the children to find friends in the non-residential parents neighborhood also helps to make it like home for them. Liberal visiting arrangements are encouraged, as contact with both parents is important to children. Specific items in any journal entry of the Court take precedence over this rule. Changes or modifications can be made by the Court if the need for such is shown. (a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties and subject to further order of this Court, subparagraphs (2) and (3) set forth the minimum amount of visitation between the non-residential parent and the children. (b) Visitation does not constitute the non-residential parent picking the children up and leaving them with someone other than a relative, other than as required for employment. (c) The residence of the children shall not be removed from the State of Ohio without first obtaining a modified allocation of parental rights and responsibilities order from this Court.

(d) All parties shall refrain from arguments or breaches of the peace in the presence of the children and in carrying out the terms of this Rule or an order of the Court. Any arguments or breaches of the peace shall bee treated as contempt of Court.

(e) The non-residential parent shall be responsible for transporting the children to and from visitation. (f) The children shall be permitted to speak on the telephone at least twice per week with the non-residential parent. The children shall be permitted to send and receive at least three letters or cards per week to or from the non-residential parent.

If the parties are unable to agree, then this midweek visitation shall be every Wednesday evening from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. (during the school years) or 9:00 p.m. (during school vacation periods). (c) The children and/or the residential parent have no duty to await the nonresidential visiting parent for more than thirty (30) minutes from the beginning of the visitation time. The non-residential parent being late more than thirty (30) minutes shall operate as a forfeiture of that visitation period. (d) For the purposes of visitation, there are eight (8) holidays as follows: 1. New Years Eve 2. Martin Luther King Day 3. Presidents Day 4. Easter 5. Memorial Day 6. Fourth of July 7. Labor Day 8.

Said visitation shall take place during the child(ren)s Christmas vacation from school, if applicable. (f) On Mothers Day and Fathers Day, no matter whose turn it is for visitation, the children shall be with the respective parent for a period of at least eight (8) hours. (g) The non-residential parent shall have a six (6) week visitation each summer, to be arranged for as soon as vacation schedules are posted for both parties to have an opportunity to take the children on vacation.

The six (6) week visitation period shall be arranged to allow a period of two (2) consecutive weeks during the summer visitation for the residential parent to have the children. The residential parent shall be permitted a minimum of alternate weekend visitation the same as provided in Section 1 above during the six (6) week visitation, if practicable. (h) The children shall celebrate their birthdays in the home of the residential parent; regardless of the non-residential parents visitation.

(3) Standard Visitation Guidelines for Long-Distance Travel. Pursuant to R.C. 3109.051(F)(2) the following is the minimum amount of visitation between the non-residential parent and the children when the parents live over 150 miles one way apart from each other: (a) Christmas: Christmas vacation, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, will be divided in half and alternated annually, by half, between the parents.
