Twelfth Judicial District – Polk County – February 1, 2026 Page | 20 APPENDIX 3 8.075 PARENTING TIME SCHEDULE 1. INTRODUCTION: The Twelfth Judicial District Local Rule recognizes that both parents are an important part of their child's growth and development. Therefore, the terms "custodial parent" and "non-custodial parent," in reference to these Local Rules, are to be read with the idea and belief that each parent should be afforded the opportunity to play an active role in the child's life. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a schedule for parents who have not established another schedule. Parents are encouraged to be flexible and to consider their child's best interests in arranging additional parenting time. The Twelfth Judicial District may be able to provide mediation services to assist you in resolving conflicts regarding custody and parenting time upon the request of a party. 2. DEFINITIONS: “Child” includes all minor children referred to in the Judgment or Order. “…
