What is a Parenting Plan?

Family Law

Your Parenting Plan is the written document that sets the guidelines for making decision about your children, sharing time with your children, supporting your children and any other mater important for your family and your children. Often, you and your spouse will settle these issues and your attorney will write up a Parenting Plan for you to sign. If you and your spouse cannot settle these issues, the Judge will hear from you and your spouse, and other witnesses, and decide a Parenting Plan for you. The Judge will consider many factors to decide what is best for the children. The factors include which parent has been caring for the children, which parent is more involved with the children and many other factors.
