About Co-Parenting
Co-Parenting family law – one of the
most difficult things about divorce or single parenting is creating a co-parenting
plan that each parent agrees to and can stick with. This type of parenting plan can be achieved
through co-parenting family law. With
the help of a co-parenting family lawyer the parents push past their issues
for the benefit of the most important person between them – their child. This
child matters. |

Focusing on custody
and visitation issues can be less stressful if you concentrate on your child.
When parents take an active part in the decision-making process, they are
more likely to achieve practical and fair solutions. Understanding the issues
involved in a parenting plan is important to resolving them.
Custody has two major
components: legal custody, or who makes important decisions regarding
the child's upbringing, and physical custody, or, where a child lives. The parent or parents
who make the decisions regarding the children are "legal
custodians." Whoever has legal custody may make these decisions. With
"joint custody" both parents make decisions together; with
"sole legal custody" one parent makes these decisions alone. Physical or
residential custody refers to the child's primary residence. Visitation is
parenting time with the child. Time is specifically set aside for the
non-custodial parent, grandparent or other family member to spend with the
child. Child support is paid by
the non-custodial parent to the parent with whom the child resides (the
"custodial" parent) for the care of the child. A hearing examiner
determines the amount of support in conjunction with guidelines established
by the Child Support Standards Act.

The plan for
co-parenting is prepared and signed by both parents. The plan is then filed with the Court to
become part of the divorce or legitimation order. If no co-parenting plan is made the
marriage dissolution or legitimation proceeds through the judicial system,
with the Court structuring the parenting plan.
It is not appropriate
if there are allegations of child abuse/neglect or in situations where
domestic violence exists. How do I find out more? For more information about Co-parenting focused
