A parenting plan creates a practical framework for co-parenting after separation. Its purpose is to give children consistency while helping parents manage responsibilities with less conflict.
Cover everyday realities
A useful plan addresses residence, contact, school arrangements, holidays, healthcare, communication and how important decisions will be made.
Keep the child at the centre
The best arrangements are realistic, age-appropriate and focused on the child’s wellbeing. A plan can evolve as circumstances change, provided the process remains constructive.
