Care plan
Grid of each child's typical week. The care shares derived from it feed into the care balancing payment, the employment impediment and the sharing of the surplus.
Adult children (18–25). For them the duty of care ends: maintenance is shared according to the parents' financial capacity, not according to the grid (BGE 147 III 265 cons. 8.5). The grid only shows who the child lives with, that is, who directly bears the cost of food and housing.
The three grids
Agreed
Filled in by the professional: it is the agreement or the official proposal and the only grid used in the calculation.
P1's proposal and P2's proposal
Each invited parent's preference. The professional sees them read-only to compare them;
they are not used in the calculation.
Typical procedure: the parents enter their proposals, the professional compares them and fills in the agreed grid. The grid becomes binding only with an approved agreement or a court decision (Art. 287 CC).
Filling it in
Structure
7 days × 9 time slots (06:00 to 20:17, 100 hours a week in total), for school and holiday weeks,
even and odd. Nights do not count as active care. For pre-school children only the holiday weeks are filled in.
Weeks side by side
The even and odd weeks are shown side by side; the School and Holiday buttons switch the context.
Copy from takes over all the grids of another child; the ▼ button fills a whole day, → a time slot.
Colours
Parent 1 blue · Parent 2 orange · School / nursery yellow · Paid third party pink · Free third party green · Empty.
The same colours appear in the result and in the PDFs.
Automatic saving
The grid saves itself after each change; the indicator shows the time of the last save.
If saving fails, click Save grid.
Care shares
Summary
Counts the hours drawn in the grid, giving the 4 contexts equal weight. It is indicative only.
Saved care shares
Visible to the professional: these are the shares used in the calculation. They count the days per year according to the phase calendar
(PRO tab, Calendar), with each parent's holiday weeks (Child data tab) and public holidays.
Whatever is missing to reach 100 % is care paid to third parties.
