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.
