What is a Parenting Plan?

    A Parenting Plan, or Custody Agreement, should be a clearly written, well thought-out agreement that lays out a working plan or guideline detailing how you and your ex-spouse/partner will care for and raise your children. It contains the specifics of several fundamental considerations your district court will want to know before granting you a separation or divorce, including:

    ·        Custody and decision-making

    ·        Shared parenting time

    ·        Parenting responsibilities

    ·        Child support

    ·        Education

    ·        Heath care

    ·        Insurance

    ·        Contact information

    ·        Communications

    ·        Travel and relocation

    ·        Mediation and arbitration

    ·        Visitation for relatives and significant others

    ·        General covenants and provisions
