Getting a divorce is difficult especially when there are children involved. To make the process easier on you, your spouse and your children, it is essential to develop a parenting plan. It allows both parents to have an equal part in raising their children and can ease frictions that might arise later on.
A parenting plan can be used for both short-term and long-term purposes. Based on what is best for your child and your parenting goals, you can discuss beforehand important events in your child's life like extracurricular activities, religious practices, disciplinary measures, and even graduations and weddings.
If you aren't sure how to create a parenting plan you should contact a family law attorney to guide you. Even if you are on friendly terms with your spouse it is wise to learn about the possible legal ramifications of a parenting plan before you present it to a judge.
