The Long Game | Get Every Plan + Addendum

The Long Game - Every Parenting Plan, Every Addendum, Every Age

Three parenting plans, five addenda, ten schedules. Everything for every age. PDF + editable DOCX

A parenting plan gets written once, for the child you have that year. Then the child turns eleven and gets a phone. Or turns four and starts school. Or turns eighteen and the order goes quiet exactly when college costs arrive.

What actually breaks a parenting plan, in plain language.

It usually isn't the part everyone argued about. The custody structure gets negotiated hard, the schedule gets pinned down eventually, and both of those hold.

What comes apart later is the part nobody wrote. Whether a phone counts as parenting time. Who registers for school. What happens to the rotation when a schedule stops fitting a growing child. Which parent submits a receipt, and by when, and what happens if they don't. What the order says about the year after a child turns eighteen — which, in most orders, is nothing at all.

Every one of those is a sentence that could have been in the document and wasn't. This library is the plan, plus the sentences that usually go missing.

Which structure or provision fits your family is a legal question, and not one I can answer. I'm not an attorney. This shows you what the language does so you can recognize what's in front of you, then take it to counsel.

The Long Game is an educational template and drafting library. It's a starting point to bring to a licensed attorney — not legal advice, not a finished court document, and not a substitute for one. Created by a parent who navigated the family court system; sold by ValuED Sales LLC dba May Divorce Be With You.

Bundle version 1.0, released [Month Year]. Each document carries its own version stamp.

What's inside

[TOTAL] pages across nine documents, each delivered as PDF and editable Word:

The three parenting plan structures

• Parenting Plan | Joint 50/50 · Parenting Plan | Sole Custody · Parenting Plan | Split Custody. All three, because most people don't know which structure their case lands in until later, and comparing the three is how the differences become visible.

The five addenda — the language that usually goes missing

• Step-Up Addendum | For Kids 5 & Under. How a schedule is written to change as a young child grows, instead of being renegotiated every year.

• The Beyond 18 Addendum. The stretch of years most orders stop covering entirely.

• Device + Communication Addendum. Phones, screens, and how two households communicate — the substrate every other provision runs on.

• The Clauses No One Walks You Through. Who pays for what, how it gets submitted, and by when. Reimbursement fights run for years on the absence of a deadline.

• Parallel Parenting | The Plan You May Already Have. For when co-parenting isn't happening, whether or not anyone has said so out loud.

The schedule underneath the label

• Okay, But Where Do the Kids Actually Sleep? Ten parenting-time structures drawn on a two-week calendar, each with its overnight split, its transition count, and the longest stretch a child goes without seeing a parent. Plus the hidden issues — summer, holidays, exchanges, the resume rule, drift — and worksheets to take to your attorney.

Bought separately these come to $209.

This may fit your situation if

• You're drafting a parenting plan and would rather find the missing provisions now than in the middle of next June

• You have young children, or children who will be teenagers before the order is revisited

• You want the comparison — three structures, ten schedules — rather than one document and a guess

• You'd rather hand your attorney an organized starting point than pay hourly for the first draft

What this is not: Legal advice. A recommendation of any structure, schedule, or provision for any child. A finished court document. A substitute for an attorney licensed in your state. A prediction of any outcome in any case.

⚠ Read Before Purchase

This is an educational publication, not legal advice. The author is not an attorney. Purchase does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no information shared with the seller is protected by attorney-client privilege.

The templates and addenda in this library were drafted with reference to Utah law; statutory citations, procedural references and structural assumptions throughout reflect Utah's family law framework, and they will not match other states' law without modification. Okay, But Where Do the Kids Actually Sleep? contains no statutory content — it does not reproduce, summarize, cite or characterize any state's parenting-time statutes, rules, forms or defaults. Family law is state law and it varies significantly. An attorney licensed in your state must review, modify and approve every provision before any use in any proceeding — including in Utah.

Do not use this product as your starting point if any of the following applies to your case: domestic violence; active protective order; substance abuse affecting parenting; CPS or DCFS involvement; abuse allegations (substantiated or not); active mental health crisis; international parental abduction risk; significant special needs; complex finances or hidden-asset concerns; or active parental alienation. In any of those situations, go directly to a licensed family law attorney.

This may not be the right starting point right now if any of these describe you: you're afraid of what the other parent will do if they learn you're preparing; there has been physical violence or a threat of it; there have been threats to take or harm the children, or you; the other parent monitors your phone, location, accounts, or movements; there's a current or recent protective order in either direction; or there's active substance abuse, severe untreated mental illness, or suicidal ideation in the home. A domestic violence advocate can help sequence things for your situation. National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (text START to 88788), 24/7, free, confidential. In immediate danger: 911, always.
