Parenting Guidelines During Divorce
Parenting can be challenging at any time, and even more so during divorce. We have prepared a letter containing guidelines for how to parent at your best during divorce, custody, and parenting time cases. “Divorce And Custody Parent Guidelines.”
Parenting Plans
If your case involves allocating time with children, the court will require that you have a parenting plan. It can be general or detailed, but it must specify the minimum amount of time a child will have with the non-custodial parent. Many clients with children find it helpful to fill out a parenting plan survey to explore different options in sharing children. . “Parenting Plan Worksheet”
