Graduated Parenting Plan

Kimberly Steinhoff April 28, 2021 Parenting

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.

If parents decide to separate and the mother or father moves out the house, the parents need to figure out the child custody situation during this time. Because the time of separation is uncertain and the parents usually do not know how it will end, the mother and father should come up with a parenting agreement for temporary custody. Temporary child custody refers to the time period when the parents are waiting to find out if or when they will need a permanent parenting agreement.

Bring your own version of a parenting plan to mediation, because that helps you get your thoughts organized and down on paper. Preparing a plan gives you time to think about custody preferences, financial obligations, how and where your children should spend their days, and how your family will spend holidays and vacations.
