PURSUANT to Ohio Revised Code Sec. 3109.04 (D)(1)(a) - (K)(7), Hillary Clifford and William Clifford desire to enter into a Shared Parenting Plan, anticipating a sharing of time with the parties' minor children, William Clifford Jr. born July 4, 2000 and Obama Clifford born September 11, 2003 as further detailed below;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as follows: Joint Decision Making The parties agree to share the physical and legal care of their minor children, Obama and William Jr., all as hereinafter provided. Each party acknowledges that the other is now and always has been a loving caring parent whose responsibilities as a mother or father have always been fulfilled. Both parties acknowledge their intent to always act in a manner representing the Best Interests of the Minor Children and to cooperate to arrive at decisions on issues not herein addressed. Living Arrangements The parties agree that the minor children will reside with mother Hillary and that father William will be entitled to residential custody every other weekend, beginning after school on Friday and ending on Monday morning when the children go to school. The parties further agree that William is entitled to visitation every Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. In the event a change in schedule is necessary, the party who needs to change the schedule shall notify the other immediately so to minimize the conflict and/or problem associated with said schedule change. Belongings The parties agree that each party will provide basic necessities for the minor children at their respective home, with the exception of prescribed medicine, which shall accompany the children to the home of the residential parent. Holidays/Vacations Each party shall exercise his/her right to be the residential parent of the children on holidays, as the parties may agree. If the parties cannot agree, then the holidays shall be according to the Lucas County Court Local Parenting Time Schedule. Days of special meaning: Father shall be entitled to have the children on Father's Day and on his birthday.

Mother shall be entitled to have the children on Mother's Day and on her birthday. Vacations during the summer parenting time will be in accordance with this courts visitation schedule. Mother and father shall alternate the childrens birthdays each year: This year mother will have Obama for his birthday and father will have William Jr. Next year, mother will have William Jr. for his birthday and father will have Obama. Telephone Contact Father shall have reasonable access to the children by telephone at all times they are with Mother and Mother shall have reasonable access to the children by telephone at all times that they are with Father. Transportation The parties shall share in transportation. Each party shall be responsible for the transportation on the parenting time where they have both children. Education The parties agree that the minor children will continue to attend the private school which they currently attend. The parties agree they will each pay half of the cost of the tuition. Both parties are entitled to equal access to all school facilities, records, activities, and information. Either parent may contact the minor childrens school directly by sending them self-addressed stamped envelopes to obtain copies of grades, schedules, and other matters directly from the school. Support The parties agree that father William Clifford shall pay mother Hillary Clifford child support in the amount of $631.03 per child per month for a total of $1262.06 + a 2% processing fee for a total monthly amount of $1287.30. The parties agree the issue of child support shall be subject to the continuing jurisdiction of the Court and may be established or modified at the request of either party pursuant to the relevant statutory factors and guidelines.

Health Care The parties agree that father will maintain health insurance on the minor children. Both parties agree to each pay half of all medical costs which are not covered by insurance. Mother shall make routine medical decisions. For medical issues which are not routine, the parties agree to consult the other parent and make a joint decision for the healthcare of the minor child(ren). Each parent shall have access to all records maintained for their children. Tax Exemptions that commencing in 2012, Plaintiff is awarded the yearly tax exemption for the minor child, Obama, as a dependent for federal, state and local income tax purposes. Commencing in 2012 and thereafter, Defendant is awarded the yearly tax exemption for the minor child, William Jr., as a dependent for federal, state and local income tax purposes as long as he is substantially current on his child support. When William Jr. can no longer be claimed as a dependent, mother and father shall alternate years of claiming Obama as a dependent, beginning with mother the first year. The parties shall execute all tax forms required by the Internal Revenue Service necessary to obtain the exemption. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY BE CONTEMPT OF COURT (O.R.C. 3003.21 (B) (10)). Childs Activities The parents agree that it is in the best interests of the children to take part in activities that provide enrichment for the children. The parties agree to divide the cost of any extracurricular activities equally. Further, the parties agree to decide together which activities may be taken unless the parent suggesting the activity is paying the entire cost of the activity. Neither party shall schedule activities so as to interfere with the other partys parenting time. Future Change In Dating Or Spousal Status

In the interest of family harmony and for the benefit of the well being of the children, each party agrees to encourage their child to love, respect and admire the other parent. Neither party shall encourage their children to call a new spouse or significant other mom or dad. The parties agree that neither party shall have overnight guests of the opposite gender during their parenting time. Religion This matter is not an issue. Relocation The parties agree that in the event either parent intends to relocate from his/her current residence, that parent shall provide written notification of said intent to the Court as required in O.R.C. 3109.051 (G) and to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the relocation. If either party should move more than 150 miles away, then the parties shall institute the Lucas County Long Distance Parenting Time Schedule. Continuing Jurisdiction Of The Court And Mediation Both parties recognize the continuing jurisdiction of the Court regarding matters pertaining to their minor children. Each parent agrees that should they be unable to make decisions agreeable to both parties, they shall seek mediation. If the matter cannot be resolved by mediation, the parties agree that the matter may then be submitted to the Court. Mutual Respect The parties recognize that it is vital to the children's welfare that they consult with each other prior to making decisions affecting any of the childrens general welfare with the exception of day-to-day decisions that would routinely be made by the parent who is the residential parent. Both parents agree to encourage the minor children to respect, honor and love the other parent. Other Considerations

The parties agree that neither party will allow excessive alcohol consumption around the children. The parties also agree that neither parent will allow smoking in the home or the vehicle when the children are present. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands on the day and year first written above.

Signed and acknowledged:
