Gee, pushy aren't we. If this is a modification of an existing custody arrangement, then you should be able to use FL-355, available at [a href=http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/family/divorce/divforms.htm#summary].

If they're filing for divorce, all the forms are available on the same page.

If you are looking for the actual text of the agreement, I'd need to know every little detail.

sorry didnt  meen to sound pushy,  there is no custody agreement, parents were never married and they want to do there own custody agreement, and then submit it to the court.  
thanks
