A parenting plan is a document developed for the parents of a minor child(ren) and approved by the court. It governs the relationship between both parents regarding the child(ren) and includes a time-sharing schedule. Once signed by a judge, it becomes a court order. This creates accountability. Accountability that creates opportunities, which can transform the life of a single parent, the co-parent, and the children.
There are countless single parents who are eager to complete an education, develop new skills and achieve their dreams of having a career. There is a second parent, they are not married, nor together. They communicate and they both want to share responsibilities of the child(ren). But they just don’t know how. We show them, at no cost to the family.
Parenting plans create time-sharing. Time-sharing provides clarity. Clarity regarding responsibilities, including who has responsibility for the child(ren) on which dates, times, how they make exchanges, where, and when. The parenting plan is a court order, it created accountability.
A parenting plan is crucial when a single parent wants to pursue career dreams. It ensures that other duties are addressed, allowing them to commit to an educational program, or a workforce or certificate program.
Childcare: A parenting plan clarifies how this is handled, ensuring the child’s well-being.
Minimizing Conflicts: A new schedule and routine can lead to misunderstandings. A parenting plan can clarify the changes to schedules and routine; this can avoid conflicts and disputes.
Legal Protection: The difference between a mutual understanding and a parenting plan is legal. A parenting plan is formal, the other is not. This provides the accountability that mutual understanding does not.
