Personally Designs Your Parenting Plan

A parenting plan is a document created to govern the relationship between the parties relating to decisions made regarding the minor children.


Experience has shown that children benefit greatly when their parents negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement.

        1. Transitions

        2. Holidays and special occasions

        3. Transfer of belongings

        4. Right of refusal

        5. Notice of whereabouts

  2. The plan may include other issues concerning the children such as:

        1. Education
