Arizona Exhibit B-Parenting Plan or Joint Custody Agreement is a written document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parents regarding the care of their children. It is a court-ordered document that is created when the parents are unable to reach an agreement about the care and upbringing of their children, and is meant to protect the best interests of the children. It outlines the details of the parents' involvement in the children's lives, including legal and physical custody, decision-making, education and healthcare, and parenting time (visitation). Arizona Exhibit B-Parenting Plan or Joint Custody Agreement can be filed as part of a divorce case, a legal separation, or a paternity action. There are two types of Arizona Exhibit B-Parenting Plan or Joint Custody Agreement: permanent parenting plan and temporary parenting plan. The permanent parenting plan is a long-term agreement between the parents that is in effect until the children reach the age of 18 or until the court orders modifications. The temporary parenting plan is a short-term agreement that is in effect until the court orders a permanent plan or until the parents agree on a permanent plan.
