For many divorcing parents, a family court will recommend mediation services to work out issues concerning a parenting plan and visitation schedule. In some states, mediation is mandatory. Whether private mediation or through the court, mediation is an excellent way for you and the other parent to work together to create a parenting plan for your children.
There was an interesting article in Science Daily posted on August 21, 2013 titled; "Grandmothers Who Raise Their Grandkids Struggle With Depression, Study Suggests," which actually makes a lot of sense, parenting is a huge stress, and older people around younger people all the time makes them feel old, unwanted, too slow, and out of touch.
The parents should also consider the nature and temperament of their children. If a child is very close to one parent and wants to live with that parent, the child may need to move with that parent. Sometimes that is for the best. Depending on the age of the children, the parents can get input about what the children would like to happen. They can set up different arrangements for each of their children if that is necessary. The parents should listen to their children, but in the end they should act in the best way they see fit.
Two types of parenting plans exist: temporary and permanent. When there is a divorce that includes children, the family court requires that there must be specific rules and regulations concerning the children, hence the temporary parenting plan. These are used as a bridge during divorce proceedings to preserve the current lifestyle and enhance the stability of 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.
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.
