Parenting Plans

A parenting plan is an agreement which may ultimately be ordered by a court and which details the parents' agreement on how they will raise their children in two different households.  The typical parenting plan addresses how major decisions will be made, including educational, medical, and general welfare decisions.  It will also contain a schedule to direct the days of the week the children will be with each parent, and where the children will spend holidays and vacation time.

CUSTODY AND VISITATION LITIGATION

Where parents cannot agree on the terms of a parenting plan, then custody litigation usually results.  Litigating issues of custody and visitation is costly and extremely difficult for every member of the family, especially the children.  Efforts should always be made to avoid custody litigation if at all possible, giving due consideration, first and foremost, to what is best for the children involved.  If custody litigation is inevitable, then we can help guide you through the process.

Contact us to schedule an appointment if you are concerned about issues of custody and visitation.
