What can be included in a parenting plan?
Your plan will be unique to your circumstances. It should be practical, simple and as concrete as possible.
A parenting plan can deal with any aspect of the care, welfare and development of a child. The kinds of things that may be covered in a plan include:
• how the parents will share parental responsibility and consult about decisions (like which school the child will attend)
• who the child will live with
• what time the child will spend with each parent
• what time the child will spend with other people, such as grandparents
• how the child will communicate with each parent or other people (eg by phone, email or letters)
• what arrangements need to be made for special days, such as birthdays and holidays
• what process can be used to change the plan or resolve any disagreements about the plan
• maintenance of a child*, and
• any other issue about parental responsibility or the care, welfare and development of the child.
