Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Parenting Plan?

A Parenting Plan is a written agreement worked out between parents when they separate to help clarify the arrangements for the care of the children. It can help to set out practical issues such as living arrangements, education, holidays, and healthcare. Whilst a Parenting Plan is not legally binding, it helps both parents to know what is expected of them and acts as a valuable reference to go back to, should any disputes arise later. Parents can get help creating a Parenting Plan from a mediator or family consultant.
