Do I have to submit a parenting plan between me and the mother of my child to the courts? We have an agreement drawn up between us and its been notarized. Does that have to be submitted to the courts in the state of Georgia?
Answer
Your question tells me you are in desperate need of legal counsel before you totally screw up.
A parenting plan is necessary in custody cases, but it is one small piece of a puzzle, and a pro se notarized agreement is highly unlikely to meet a judge's okay.
You didn't say if you were married or not, or if the child is legitimated.
At a minimum, any custody decision requires a parenting plan, agreement, petition, proper service, child support worksheets and financial affidavits. Also often needed is a child support addendum, certain county specific forms, inititation forms, disposition forms, report of divorce, etc.
Get a lawyer unless your child completely does not matter to you. It will be far cheaper than hiring one to fix your mess later.
