A parenting plan is a written document that outlines how parents will raise their child(ren) together following a separation or divorce.  A parenting plan reflects the interest and needs of the child(ren).  A parenting plan can also reduce conflict between parents.  

• How decisions are made (joint or individual but with consultation from the other parent)

• How information is shared between parents

• When each parent will spend time with the child(ren)

• How other parenting issues may be addressed
