What is a Parenting Plan?
In the state of Florida, divorcing parents are now required by law to create a parenting plan. All other child custody situations would also benefit from such a plan. A parenting plan is a document that can be legalized stating a parent’s wishes regarding timesharing with their child. It can state who gets to spend specific days with a child and whom the child will visit on the weekends, holidays and school breaks. It can also stipulate any of the following issues relating to time-sharing, decision making and communication:
- What type of education/schooling will the child receive?
- What type of child care will be provided and where?
- Who will transport child from parent to parent?
- What will happen if the parent wants to relocate or move away?
- What type of religious upbringing will the child have?
- How will a parent be notified in an emergency?
- How will timesharing be made-up if either parent must re-schedule?
- Who will pay for the child’s recreational activities?
- How will family vacations be decided?
- What sports will be allowed?
- How will a child be notified of child’s grades, schooling and education?
- What communication arrangements will there be between child and parent?
- How will both parents communicate?
- How will disputes be resolved? Will mediation be used?
