A parenting plan is an agreement reached by parents concerning the care and custody of their child or children.
Parenting plans can be temporary or final. In order for the court to approve a parenting plan, it must find that the parenting plan is in the minor children’s best interests. However, a final parenting plan can always be modified by the court if a substantial change in circumstances has occurred rendering the parenting plan no longer in the minor children’s best interests.
At a minimum, a parenting plan needs to address two important topics: legal custody and physical custody.
In addition to addressing physical and legal custody, parenting plans often address a number of other topics, such as:
The benefit of entering into a parenting plan is that the parents can be as general or specific as their individual family situation requires. However, when drafting and enforcing a parenting plan, it is important to remember that a parenting plan is essentially a contract regarding the parenting of your children. It is impossible to predict all of the instances that could arise regarding the children or parents. Therefore, it is important to remember that in some situations, creativity or flexibility is required in order for the parents to have a successful co-parenting relationship. At the end of the day, it all comes down to the health and happiness of your child.
