What is a Parenting Plan?
A Parenting Plan is an agreement between parents outlining how they wish to co-parent, typically created as part of a separation agreement or divorce proceedings. Parenting Plans can foster a consistent and healthy environment for children, and can help avoid many conflicts around visitation, medical care, daily care, schooling and financial contributions.
Even if your state or situation doesn't require a Parenting Plan as part of divorce proceedings, they can be a useful tool for any co-parenting couple.
When can you use a Parenting Plan?
- You are getting a divorce and your state requires you to submit a Parenting Plan.
- You are getting a divorce or separation and want to make a Parenting Plan for your own needs.
- You need to create a co-parenting agreement with someone who is not a spouse.
