Every Other Weekend Parenting Plan

Filing for child support is a different process than filing the parenting agreement, but they relate and they can be done at the same time. There are just different papers to fill out. The parenting agreement affects the support payments, because the information in the agreement determines the amount of support. The agreement has the custody and visitation schedule, which provides the timeshare percentage of each parent. The agreement should also contain stipulations about how the parents will provide insurance, education, and other necessities for the child. Some states use these factors to help determine the amount of support.

These are obviously the bare bones of a temporary plan, but having these can make all the difference in your permanent plan. When you get to the point when it is time to make a permanent parenting plan, you may find it difficult to make one from scratch, on your own. Because making your own plan can be daunting, example parenting plans can be used to help you make an effective plan. What makes a good example of a parenting plan?

To begin with, child support payments can begin before the parenting agreement is finalized. As soon as the parents separate or one parent moves out of the house, a parent can file for temporary child support. This support payment is based on the same formula that is used for the permanent support. Every state uses different factors, but almost every state uses the timeshare percentage to calculate the amount that needs to be paid. This means that the parent who has the most time with the children receives the support. The amount of support is based on the time difference and the other factors the state includes.
