Child Support Parenting Plan

The best way for a mother or father to truly win child custody is to work with the other parent to create an acceptable parenting agreement. The parents should try to set aside other issues and disagreements and focus solely on what they are going to do to raise their children. The plan that they create for caring for the children becomes the parenting agreement. If they work together and are willing to be open and to compromise, they should be able to come up with a parenting time schedule that allows for fair time for each parent. They will also be able to divide up the holidays fairly. These parents will also put in parenting provisions and stipulations that will ensure the child is being raised in a positive home environment. This will help the parent`s peace of mind when the child is at the other home.

The parents should also consider the nature and temperament of their children. If a child is very close to one parent and wants to live with that parent, the child may need to move with that parent. Sometimes that is for the best. Depending on the age of the children, the parents can get input about what the children would like to happen. They can set up different arrangements for each of their children if that is necessary. The parents should listen to their children, but in the end they should act in the best way they see fit.

Parents in a temporary custody situation need to work out the financial aspect of parenting while they are separated. The parenting agreement should specify how they will continue to provide and care for the children financially. A mother or father can file for temporary child support if they need to. The children`s standard of living should not change because one of the parents moves out. The parents can file their parenting agreement for temporary custody at the court. They will meet with a judge and present their agreement. The judge will adopt this agreement and make it a custody order with an ending date. The end date is generally the day of the permanent custody hearing.

The family court wants to see an arrangement that represents the best interests of the children. Ideally, both parents will work together to be involved in their children`s lives and will set up a reasonable arrangement that does not disrupt their environment too much.
