Once the parenting agreement is decided on, the parents can get a copy of the state child support calculator to find out the amount of support that is paid or received. If the parents do not think the amount of support is fair, they can make adjustments to the agreement to change the amount. They can do this by changing the custody schedule or the other information in the agreement. It is important for parents to take ownership for their agreement and child support. They should double check the calculations and do their own math rather than relying on the court. The court may estimate some of the numbers or make mistakes, and it is up to the parents to notice this and fix the situation.
Apparently, this is a common problem. It is becoming more and more common with hard economic times where grandparents are going to live with their offspring, or their kids are coming home to live with them, and bringing their kids. In past periods families have lived like this, but it is not common today here the United States, at least not as common as it has been throughout the world, as kids can learn a lot from grandparents, there is much wisdom to depart, even if it does take a toll on the grandparents.
A joint custody parenting plan has the best chance of success when you and the other parent experience low-conflict communication. Many divorced couples approach communication as a business agreement where they keep emotion out of the conversation. In other words, when you interact with a co-worker, boss or client, you keep things brief, to the point and professional. If you can do this with the other parent, a joint custody parenting plan may work out for your family.
Working together in mediation allows you to reduce conflict because you are working with a third party. It also allows you to take as long as your reasonably need to reach an agreement that is in the best interest of your children.
Together as parents you must decide how you will share the responsibility of making decisions for your children. These are major decisions such as religion, education and medical care. The parental responsibility to make decisions is called sole custody. The next section in your plan should determine how the children`s time is spent with parents. This is known as physical custody. It is useful to create a time schedule or calendar that outlines when the children is in the care of each parent.
Along with the times of visitation, the parenting agreement needs to contain details of where the visitation takes place and how the kids are transported there. To help the children adjust, the parent who has moved out may come to the children`s home for visitation. This may help the children feel more at ease. If the children are older and able to handle going to the parent`s new home, they can visit there. The mother and father should work out who will pick up and drop off the children.
