A parenting plan is a legally recognised agreement between parents which sets out the care arrangements and parental responsibility for their children.

​

Parenting plans can deal with a variety of issues, including when the children are staying with either parent, schooling arrangements, what happens on birthdays, holidays and special occasions and how parents will communicate regarding the children.

​

As an experienced family lawyer, our mediator will draft a professional parenting plan with the parents during the mediation. This ensures that the agreement is properly recorded and avoids future disputes about the parenting arrangements.

​

Parenting plans are a very flexible agreement and can easily be updated if both parents agree. This is helpful as children grow and their needs change.
