The Ontario co-parenting kit · for separated dads
The Co-Parenting Plan
What to set up before the schedule sets itself.
Whatever parenting pattern runs in the first weeks after you separate tends to become the "status quo" — and Ontario courts are slow to disturb a settled arrangement. This kit is the plan, the log, and the schedule templates that protect your time with your kids, in plain language, before you need them.
One lawyer hour in Ontario often runs several hundred dollars. This is $17, and you keep the plan, the log, and the templates. A complete, one-time download. No subscription.

The schedule you fall into now is the one a court is slow to change later
If you're seeing your kids on a regular overnight schedule now, that pattern protects you. If you're seeing them rarely now, that pattern works against you — and it gets harder to change the longer it runs.
So the early weeks aren't the time to wait and see. They're the time to act on purpose: a written schedule with real overnights, a parenting plan that says who decides, and a dated record that holds if your time is ever disputed.
What is inside
What the $17 buys
Three working tools, not just a guide: a drafted parenting plan (the 13 sections an Ontario plan covers, fillable, built from the federal Parenting Plan Checklist), a court-usable parenting / exchange log in the format that holds up, and schedule templates — week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, and alternating-weekends — each with the pros, cons, and a holiday overlay so the most common fight is settled before it starts.
Six protection fronts
- Build the schedule on purpose
- Decide how decisions get made — before they get made for you
- Write every message as if a judge will read it
- Keep the record that memory can't
- Make the handoffs boring
Plus the tools that do the hardest parts for you
- Walk in with the work already done
- The Exposure Audit — see where you stand in two minutes.
