Anything that relates to your child or children.  The beauty of a parenting plan, as opposed to parenting orders, is that you are not limited to only the things a court will allow in an agreement.  Some things commonly included are:

  • The days and times that the child/ren are with each parent
  • How major decisions relating to the child/ren will to be made – eg schooling
  • Holidays and special occasions
  • Communication between parents
  • Communication between parents and children
  • Overseas travel
  • How the arrangements will be reviewed
  • Any professional support your child/ren may need to assist with the separation
  • Relationships with others – extended family, new partners
