v.
D.M.V.H.
[*1133] E.V., the Father, appeals the final judgment on his petition to establish paternity and the counterpetition filed by D.M.V.H., the Mother. He raises six arguments on appeal, which relate to the calculation of his income, the support arrearage, the Mother's income, the parenting plan, the time-sharing schedule, and the limited length of the trial. We reverse the judgment to the extent the parenting plan did not include one of the statutorily required findings. We remand for entry of this finding and to correct the clerical errors and other minor omissions in the parenting plan. We otherwise affirm the judgment without comment.
The Father argues that the parenting plan is legally insufficient because it does not comply with section 61.13(2)(b), Florida Statutes (2017), in five ways: (1) it fails to provide that either parent may consent to health treatment for the child; (2) it fails to describe the methods and technologies that the parents will use to communicate with the children; (3) it lists the Father as the school-based parent; (4) it designates the Father as the parent with whom the children will reside the majority of the time; and (5) it contains an error regarding the number of overnights.
Section 61.13(b) provides the minimum requirements for a court-approved parenting plan. Reversal is required where the trial court fails to create a time-sharing schedule entirely, see Munroe v. Olibrice,
The parenting plan incorporated into the final judgment in this case is the form approved by the Florida Supreme Court and is sufficiently specific as to the minimum requirements set forth in section 61.13(2)(b), with one exception. Under section 61.13(2)(b)(4), the parenting plan must "[d]escribe in adequate detail the methods and technologies that the parents will use to communicate with the child." This section of the form plan is blank. As a result, we direct the trial court to make these findings. See Lanier v. Lanier,
On remand, the trial court should also address the rest of the issues identified by the Father, particularly the number of overnights, which the Mother concedes are clerical errors. See Pope v. Langowski,
Affirmed in part; reversed in part; remanded with instructions.
