What is a parenting plan?

A parenting plan is a written agreement between the parties about how they will raise their child/children. If the parties are involved in litigation for custody, the court will order that both parties attend mediation and see if they can work out a parenting plan/agreement between themselves. However, it is not required.

If the parties cannot decide on how they should parent their child then the court will determine what is in the best interest of the child given the situation.
