This is an official Washington court form for use in a paternity case, a Parenting Plan. Available in Word and Rich Text format.
King Washington WPF PS 01.0400 refers to the official form used in the state of Washington for creating parenting plans in family law cases. This form is utilized during various stages of the legal process to establish child custody arrangements and outline parenting responsibilities. The Parenting Plan — Proposed (PP) is the initial version of the parenting plan submitted by either parent or both parents to the court. It outlines their proposed arrangements for the care, custody, and visitation of their child or children. The proposed parenting plan is typically filed early in the legal proceedings, allowing both parents to present their preferences and suggestions. The Temporary Parenting Plan (PPT) serves as an interim solution while the court process is ongoing. This plan includes short-term custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and other relevant details until a final decision is made. Temporary parenting plans are useful for maintaining stability and minimizing disruption in the child's life during the legal proceedings. The Final Order — Parenting Plan (PP) is the ultimate legal agreement regarding the child custody arrangements and parenting responsibilities. It is issued by the court after considering all the relevant factors, such as the child's best interests, parental wishes, and any evidence or testimonies presented. The final parenting plan becomes legally binding and governs the long-term arrangements for the child's care, visitation, decision-making authority, and other important aspects of parenting. These different types of parenting plans provide a structured approach to resolve child custody and parenting disputes in Washington state. They ensure that the best interests of the child are prioritized while allowing parents to propose their preferred arrangements. The court then evaluates the proposals, considering all relevant factors, and ultimately issues a final order that provides clarity and stability for both parents and the child.
