Personally Designs Your Parenting Plan
A parenting plan is a document created to govern the relationship between the parties relating to decisions made regarding the minor children.
Experience has shown that children benefit greatly when their parents negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement.
Why you need a parenting plan:
Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes that govern family matters requires the court to order a parenting plan in proceedings involving children.
Important parts to include in your plan:
The plan must include a detailed time-sharing schedule for the parents and the children including:
Transitions
Holidays and special occasions
Transfer of belongings
Right of refusal
Notice of whereabouts
The plan may include other issues concerning the children such as:
Education
Health care
Social, physical, and emotional well-being
