If you’re a parent going through separation or divorce in Oregon, creating a solid parenting plan worksheet Oregon is one of the most important steps you’ll take for your children. My name is Sarah Bennett, and for the past twelve years I’ve helped hundreds of Oregon families draft parenting plans as a family-law paralegal and legal template specialist in Portland. Today I’m giving you my most up-to-date, court-accepted Oregon parenting plan PDF template completely free—along with a complete walkthrough so you can fill it out confidently.

Under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 107.102, every divorcing or separating parent with minor children must submit a detailed parenting plan to the court—whether you and the other parent agree or not. The Oregon Judicial Department and most county circuit courts strongly recommend using a parenting plan worksheet first because it forces you to think through every real-life scenario before emotions run high in court.
I’ve seen judges in Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Lane, and Deschutes counties reject vague or incomplete plans and send parents back to mediation. Using a structured parenting plan worksheet Oregon format from the beginning saves time, money, and stress.
This 12-page fillable PDF includes every section Oregon courts expect in 2025:
Oregon strongly favors joint legal custody unless there is evidence of abuse, substance issues, or inability to cooperate. Check the box that applies and initial both parents’ agreement.
The most common Oregon schedules I draft for clients are:
Use the built-in calendar table in the PDF to mark your exact plan. Courts love visual schedules.
| Day | Mother | Father |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | ✓ | |
| Tuesday | ✓ | |
| Wednesday | ✓ | |
| Thursday | ✓ | |
| Friday | ✓ | |
| Saturday | ✓ | |
| Sunday | ✓ |
(Example of a 2-2-3 schedule – just check the boxes in your downloadable PDF)
Oregon law requires you to specify:
My template already has the 2025–2026 Oregon school calendars pre-filled so you don’t have to look them up.
Specify exact location (e.g., McDonald’s on 82nd Ave at 6:00 pm) and who drives. Including this detail prevents 90% of future contempt motions I see filed.
Most judges now require use of OurFamilyWizard or Talking Parents when conflict is moderate or high. The worksheet has a dedicated section with current 2025 pricing and login instructions.
Spell out who chooses the pediatrician, how you split dance/sports costs, and how you handle college savings. Oregon courts can enforce these provisions later.
With remote work rising, relocation disputes have exploded. My template includes the exact 60-day notice language required by ORS 109.724 and a mileage trigger (usually 60 miles).
Once both parents sign (preferably notarized), attach it as Exhibit A to your Stipulated General Judgment or file with Form 8.10.8A (Parenting Plan). Most counties now accept e-filing.

Wishing you and your children a smoother co-parenting journey ahead.
