A parenting plan is a written agreement between separated parents that outlines how they will raise their children together despite living apart. This document helps minimise conflicts by providing clear guidelines on responsibilities and expectations.

Key components of an effective parenting plan include:

  • Living arrangements for children

  • Visitation schedules

  • Decision-making responsibilities regarding education and health care

  • Communication methods between parents

Creating a parenting plan encourages collaboration between parents and focuses on what is best for the children involved. It’s advisable to review this plan regularly as circumstances may change over time.
