Parenting Plan Checklist: Information to help you get started

A parenting plan outlines how parents will raise their children after separation or divorce. It describes how parents not living together will care for and make important decisions about their children in both homes. You can agree to any type of parenting arrangement, but you should focus on what is in the best interests of your children. This checklist identifies important issues for you to consider when creating your parenting plan. It will help you identify questions to discuss with the other parent, including: How you will make decisions about your children (for example, together or individually), when each of you will spend time with your children, how you will share information and communicate with the other parent.
