When parties decide to separate, it is only the first step towards divorce. All the many facets of parenting can be daunting unless you have a clear plan of what to do. The essence of a written agreement or parenting plan is to outline the process of their rights and duties in parenting their children. Our mediators are used to assisting parents in meeting collectively and drafting an agreement that will suit both. Drawing up parenting plans can be emotional for both parents, and it is valuable to have a neutral third party to guide you through contact, care and financials.
Crucial matters to consider in a plan are the guidelines and rules for discipline, schooling, and religion; contact with other people and family; who will be the primary caretaker where the children will reside.
Parenting Plans are an excellent way of guiding parents in their contact with their children. It might be prudent to suggest that parents write up a parenting plan when a child is born, when the relationship becomes severe or when the marriage ends. Doing this will assist in smoothing the path through the divorce proceedings.
When parents are not living together, a Parenting Plan assists in giving the children a stable and respectful relationship with their parents. They will know what their parents expect from them because the rules will always be the same at each parent’s home. Because the children’s best interests are paramount for both parents, they get the necessary stability to grow into reasonable grownups.
Parenting Plans are not static; as children grow and evolve, the plans should be negotiated and changed. The children should be the benefits of the changes made. Parenting is stressful, especially when they are separated. Please get in touch with a specialist parenting plan lawyer to assist with the amendments and enforcement of the plan. Our team will register the revised parenting plan at the Children’s Court or the Family Advocate’s Office.
Parents must keep their commitments and ensure they uphold the parenting plan. If a parent breaches the project, they must approach the Children’s Court or Maintenance Court.
