DIVORCE/PARENTING PLAN

A parenting plan is an outline of your child’s residential schedule, often a parenting plan is submitted at the beginning of a divorce action if children are involved. If you were not married, then you would need to establish a paternity action. These are complicated issues and that is why we offer a FREE 20 minute consultation.

While parenting plans need to be specific, they are basically just guidelines. It is important to put together a parenting plan that allows growing room. While there is no “parenting plan police” that lurks to see if you are following your court ordered parenting plan to the T, there are some guidelines that make working with parenting plans more bearable and user friendly.

Imagine you are a co-CEO of a major company called your child and you can not hire or fire the other Co-CEO. For the well being of your child it is important and beneficial to learn to navigate the dynamics of your parental relationship with your former spouse.
