Co Parenting Planner for Two Homes: Schedules, Handoffs and Records

Co parenting planner pages that gather schedules, handoffs and shared records into one calm place for parents raising kids in two homes. Inside are 30 undated pages: calendars for parenting time, a holiday plan, lists for handoffs and packing, a log of shared costs, school and medical records and an agenda for meetings. Download it instantly as a PDF in US Letter and A4. Nothing is shipped.

Fewer forgotten items, fewer tense messages, and children who always know where they will be.

How a co parenting planner keeps both homes in sync

Give each parent a color and shade the year, month and week, so the kids can see at a glance where they are going. Settle holidays for even and odd years once, instead of renegotiating every season. With the handoff checklist, the packing list and the two homes essentials page, inhalers, chargers and homework folders stop getting left behind.

Brief, factual logs for messages, handoffs, schedule changes, appointments and expenses mean both homes remember events the same way. Keep it all in a binder and print fresh calendars and logs each month.

Who this custody planner is for

• Separated and divorced parents who share custody of one child or several
• Parents beginning a new parenting schedule who want it all on paper from the first day
• Kids who split school weeks, weekends and holidays between two houses
• Step parents and blended families who pitch in with school runs, activities and handoffs
• Anyone who would rather keep a paper binder than add another co-parenting app

Design and printing

• Elegant, minimalist white pages with soft blush pink details that go easy on ink
• Wide margins throughout, so nothing is cut off on a home printer
• Two portrait sizes: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so you can begin in any month of any year
• Weekly and monthly calendars begin on Sunday in the US Letter file and on Monday in the A4 file
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a print shop

Good to know

• You receive a digital download only. Nothing physical is shipped.
• Colors can look a little different on screen than on paper.
• Please keep the files for your own personal use. Sharing, reselling or passing them on is not allowed.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if a file will not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• It helps you stay organized but is not legal advice. A court order or written parenting plan always takes priority, and a family law professional is the right person for legal questions.
