Yes, this is the correct…

Yes, this is the correct form. You can use this form since you've seen the kids within the last year. He would not be able to use the form if he were requesting a change.

Is this the correct form?

My ex moved out of state a year ago, without notice, and has not seen the kids since. The current parenting plan is the one that was made about 20 months ago when our divorce was final. In that plan, due to abuse - he was only allotted 2 hour long visits and no overnights, except short weekend visits under the supervision of his parents. I would like to get a new parenting plan, the teen kids are not wanting to go on weekend visits with him since they have not seen him in over a year, and they no longer want him to have access to their school records (which he currently has). Can I use this form, since it says they have to have seen the kids in the last year? Or is that only if HE is filling out the form?
