One of the most difficult aspects is working out a parenting plan and arranging schedules in the children’s best interests, while also accommodating the demands on parents’ lives. A parenting plan establishes legal custody to decide who makes the decisions regarding the health, welfare, education, and religious upbringing, as well as, physical custody to decide who the children live with, including providing daily needs, food, shelter, clothing, transportation to school and social events, and finally parenting time to determine the non-custodial parent’s appropriate time with the children.

Fearless Use of the Court System
