Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas in your household? Are the parenting arrangements for the holiday season keeping you up at night? Has conflict increased between you and your former spouse over who the children will spend Christmas morning with? Do you wish for a more peaceful and calmer holiday season?
We can help. A great way to minimise conflict around the holiday season is by recording any parenting arrangements by way of a parenting plan or consent orders.
If you are looking for a way to record your parenting arrangements before Christmas without it being overseen by the Court; a parenting plan may be a good option. A parenting plan will provide: -
- Peace of mind for parents and children;
- Less stress;
- The ability to focus on parenting your children when they are with you rather than arguing with the other parent;
- A schedule that provides emotional safety and routine for you and the children;
- The ability to make plans for the times when you have your children with you and when they are with the other parent’;
- An alternative option to solve parenting disputes outside of the Court;
- A document that’s flexible.
A good, strong, effective parenting plan is worth its weight in gold.
Think of a parenting plan as a guide that will get you out of the murky waters of parenting after separation. Sounds nice, doesn't it? Having a workable, effective plan is more than nice; it's a necessity for success.
A parenting plan is a written, signed and dated agreement between two former spouses regarding the care, welfare and development of their child.
For a parenting plan to exist under the Family Law Act 1975, it must be in writing, signed and dated by both parents, and made free from threat, duress or coercion.
