Life is not predicable, but it can be made easier when separated
parents have the stability of a parenting plan.
A parenting plan is one of the most critical legal documents for
preventing conflict between you and your ex-partner.
The Divorce Act defines a parenting plan as a
document that outlines how parents will raise their children after
separation or divorce. The plan contains elements that determine
parenting time, decision-making responsibility and/or contact with
the children.
No two couples have the same story and the particular
circumstances and needs of your family should be reflected in your
parenting agreement. The document should outline specific schedule
details to outline the days and hours each parent will spend with
the children. A parenting plan is advisable even when parents are
amicable because they may not always see eye-to-eye on every
issue.
