Difference between revisions of "Parenting Apart"

A lot of users of this resource have asked about sample parenting plans. I can't post an example of a parenting plan or separation agreement of my own, as I always draft those from scratch to reflect the unique needs and circumstances of each client. I can, however, post the following [http://fourthjudicialcourt.idaho.gov/ada/parenting_plans.html parenting plans] that are drawn from the Idaho Benchbook, a creation of family law lawyers from the Idaho state bar and judiciary. Other parenting plans and parenting agreements can doubtless be found online.  

Note three things about the Idaho plan:

#1. Much of the legal language in the Benchbook plan is suited to American law and won't be suitable for British Columbia parenting plans; you'll have to adapt the terminology accordingly.

#2. The plan refers to American subjects (like holidays and social security numbers) that you'll have to change or delete.

 

You might also want to have a look at the [http://www.in.gov/judiciary/rules/parenting/ Parenting Time Guidelines] found in the Indiana Rules of Court, which are extremely detailed and very child-focused.
