It's solid you if it's about protecting yourself and the children... Not if your are looking to get a reaction
I wrote it up it for a couple reasons. 1. Protect my time and rights with D4. 2. I'm going to waste as little money as possible going through this D. 3. Help me detach. I really feel kind of numb to it. I can't control it. Spending 50% D4 childhood is not my choice. - if it causes some type of reaction in her I can't control it nor do I want the burden of controlling her reactions. (spoken as a mantra )

Found out what my rights were and I more than once voiced I would not settle for anything less than what I felt was fair. Not mean not angry.. But firm and confident I would walk away just fine... I was able to remove the emotions in the mediation process, even was happy n chipper understanding that this was on her, her choice ... And I would make lemonade out of the lemons she was trying to throw at me.
I have on more than one occasion showed her she wouldn't push me around or push me into making decisions before I'm ready.

Parenting plan.... I think shows strength and something a concerned and involved father would put into place to protect his rights to the kids ... So yeah I think it's solid provided you aren't trying to guilt her or force her hand in someway
Not trying to guilt her or force her hand in anyway. It's something that has to be done. I want to make sure I protect my rights and don't waste money. WW is pushing for us to start the plan right away to help D4 adjust to times of WW caring for her and times when I care for her. Is this something we should start right away or wait until the D is final? I'm thinking it doesn't hurt to start it right away.
