If you and the other parent have similar values and parenting styles, the chances for success with a shared plan increase. When children are exposed to one person`s methods, which are completely reversed with the other parent, it can cause confusion, stress and divided loyalty. Your children will benefit from joint custody if you and the other parent see eye to eye on many basic child rearing practices.
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.
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.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to revise the parenting plan you created as you and the other parent were going through your divorce proceedings. A parenting plan cannot cover every aspect of life and cannot anticipate how real life will change over the years. There is no problem with revising your parenting plan as long as it continues to put your childrens best interests first.
Ultimately, the court wants parents to understand that just because their intimate relationship is ending, their rights and responsibilities as parents are not. Because divorce is often full of conflict, pain and hurt, couples are encouraged to set aside their differences and focus on minimizing the effects of the separation on the children.
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.
