Parenting Plans

Parenting plans can be challenging for divorced parents who have differing views on what is best for their children. A parenting plan covers various aspects, from parenting time spent with their children to where the children will live, the responsibilities each parent holds, and who is best suited to make significant decisions regarding education, nutrition, medical care, and religious upbringing.

When parents are unable to reach a mutual agreement on a parenting plan, they may resort to litigation through court proceedings.

This approach can further strain the family emotionally as litigation does not always take both parties' interests into account, leading to costly and prolonged disputes that create more concern than anticipated.

Fortunately, there is a collaborative and nurturing alternative to litigation that is still legally binding: mediation.
