PARENTING PLAN – CHILD CUSTODY

It can be challenging to co-parent even in the best case scenario. Parents can have very different priorities and concerns as things relate to their children. Despite this parents have to put their children first.

For the kids this is their one childhood – regardless of their parents relationship with one another. As a result, it is incumbent on the parents to have as positive and productive relationship with one another as possible no matter how they actually feel about one another. Mediating a comprehensive parenting plan (often thought of as a child custody agreement) can help parents co-parent their children in a positive peaceful way. One that promotes positive communication and parenting relationships even when the parents no longer wish to be in a relationship with one another.

Whether divorced, separated or never married, parenting plan and child custody mediation can help parents work together to minimize the impact of separate households on their children; promoting the best childhood experience possible. Parenting plan/child custody mediation allows parents to devise a plan that meets the needs of the family as a whole: both parents and the children.

Every family is unique. What works for one family is not necessarily going to work for another. Regardless of the status of an existing parenting plan/custody agreement, CFR’s parenting plan mediation focuses on creating a plan that works for each unique family. Children only get one childhood, we encourage parents to create a plan that puts the needs of the children first.
