Family Court Services

In each family law case involving minor children and a divorce/separation, the Court will require parents to complete and include a parenting plan with their paperwork. Although parents may agree to terms outside of the parenting plan, having a plan on file serves as “fall back” in instances where parents disagree on parenting time arrangements. Additionally, the creation of a parenting plan allows a child’s needs to be considered, but also seeks to remove them from parental conflict by ensuring they are not left in a position of having to choose between either parent.
