The parenting agreement is the document that outlines how parents will continue to care for their children after they divorce or separate. The agreement contains a custody and visitation schedule, a holiday schedule, provisions and stipulations, and information about child support. As parents begin the process of making a parenting agreement, they usually have a lot of questions about how the agreement affects the child support payments. Here is an overview about the parenting agreement and support.

When separation or divorce happens and children are involved, the first thing that should be done is making a parenting plan. You may need to make a temporary plan if a long and heated custody battle is coming. Even if custody hearings are short and less stressful, a temporary parenting plan may need to be made before a permanent one is created. A temporary plan should consist of as much detail as you can but needs just the basics to get you by until a permanent plan can be made. What are the basics of a temporary parenting plan? Parenting time schedule - How much time each parent spends with the children Children`s schedules - What activities the children have Emergency information - Any information pertaining to emergencies

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.

Your original parenting plan most likely won`t fit your family`s needs forever, so you and the other parent must negotiate changes. You owe it to your children to work together to provide the best possible environments for your children through open communication. In order to negotiate effectively, you must have a certain level of trust and commitment established so you can agree on the best way to parent your children and to revise the parenting plan as your family changes and grows. Even though you are no longer together, you will always be partners when it comes to providing a supportive and caring life for your children.
