What Are Parenting Plans?

When parents separate or divorce, they must decide how their children will be raised. Parenting Plans are documents in which the parents, with the assistance of an experienced family law attorney, outline how their children will be raised, as well as resolve other important issues such as child custody, visitation and expense division.

A parenting plan will often identify:

• When and how much time each parent will spend with the children
• A plan for the division of important holidays and birthdays
• How medical decisions will be made
• How educational choices will be made
• How religious decisions will be made
• The methods of communication the parents will use
• How expenses can be divided

Parenting Plans can help reduce conflict between parents as they provide clear guidelines and establish clear expectations. This limits the space for arguing about things such as how the child's summer vacations will be spent or what type of school they will attend. It is also a good idea to focus on establishing a parenting plan that is realistic and flexible.

Parenting Plans Missouri

In Missouri, written parenting plans are required for all custody cases. Parents can work together to create a plan and then submit it to the court. If the court finds the plan to be in the best interest of the child, they will likely approve it.
