Factors to Consider When Creating a Parenting Plan

The state of California refers to parenting plans as custody or visitation agreements. The parents will work together to determine when each parent will spend time with the children and how decisions will be made regarding their daily lives. A written parenting plan is important because it makes co-parenting much easier after a divorce. Some of the many factors that should be taken into consideration when it comes time to draft your parenting plan include the following:

  • Ensuring that your children’s basic needs are being met
  • How will the child’s medical needs be met daily and in the event of an emergency?
  • Try to mold the parenting plan around your children, not the other way around
  • Try to maintain some sort of consistency in your child’s life so they can feel that their routine is reliable
  • Determine how holidays, vacation time, birthdays, weekends, and other special occasions will be handled 
  • Remember to remain flexible throughout the process of determining parenting time, as difficult as this might be
  • Ensure regular communication regarding schedules
  • Openly communicate about transportation and any associated costs
  • Be sure to consider both physical and legal custody throughout the planning period
