Frequently Asked Questions
What should a custody schedule include?
A good custody schedule should include regular weekday and weekend arrangements, holiday schedules, vacation time, pick-up and drop-off times and locations, and provisions for special occasions like birthdays.
How do I create a custody schedule?
Start with both parents' work schedules, the children's school and activity schedules, and geographic proximity. Choose a base schedule (alternating weeks, EOW, etc.), then add holiday provisions. Having the schedule reviewed by a family law attorney is recommended.
Can I modify a custody schedule?
Informal modifications between parents are common. However, for legally binding changes, you'll need to file a modification with the court. Courts will approve changes that are in the best interest of the child.
What is a parenting plan?
A parenting plan (or parenting agreement) is a legal document that specifies all aspects of custody and visitation, including the regular schedule, holidays, decision-making authority, and communication guidelines between co-parents.
