Depends on whether you and your ex are in agreement on the plan, or whether your custody matter will be resolved by the court at trial. If your spouse and you cannot agree on a plan, then you can file a motion for temporary joint custody and parenting, and submit the plan as evidence and ask the court to order it, on grounds that it is the current status quo upon which you and your spouse have been operating.

If your spouse will sign a stipulated parenting plan, then you can file a motion to enter final custody/parenting plan on grounds that you are both in agreement as to the child(ren)'s best interests.

Both of these options can be taken at any time before final judgment/decree of dissolution of marriage.
