Once the mother and father have worked out where the children will live, they need to decide the visitation of the other parent. It is important that the children still have a lot of contact with both parents--one parent should not just disappear. If both parents have been involved in the care-taking of the children, the children will need more visitation with the other parent. The mother and father should look at their work schedules to figure out the arrangements.
Experts recommend that the temporary parenting plan not introduce large changes right away into the children`s lives. While some change is inevitable, parents should minimize drastic changes and introduce new situations slowly. A temporary plan is a good way to get both parents on the same page regarding the new arrangements that separation brings into the family.
In Georgia, grandparents have been awarded visitation rights as have step-parents who had a close bond with the child at the time they were married to the child`s parent. Again, as long as the judge finds the visitation is in the best interest of the child, visitation is often awarded in these circumstances.
Because the temporary parenting plan acts as a bridge during divorce proceedings, it will eventually be replaced by a permanent parenting plan. It can be as detailed or as simple as the parents desire. Parents may create a temporary arrangement based on their children`s needs and their own schedules using custody software such as Custody X Change. The software offers detailed templates to help parents create clear, workable plans that can be printed out and submitted to attorneys or to the family court. Generally, the courts will approve a parent-created plan as long as it shows that the children`s needs are being met in the best possible way.
