A parenting plan is a written document between parents that explains how children will be raised when parents are no longer together. The focus should be on what is best for the children. A plan should have enough detail to be useful, and enough flexibility to be realistic. A parenting plan may describe:
- how decisions about the children are made
- how information is shared between parents
- when each parent will spend time with the children
- how other parenting issues may be addressed
