A divorce mediator explains why standard court parenting plans fail. A baby needs different arrangements than a teenager, and generic plans create ongoing conflict. Detailed, age-specific plans keep families out of court.

All too often, I have clients who are already divorced through the court system, but have very basic parenting plans. A baby is obviously parented very differently than a teenager, incurs different expenses, and has different needs. My goal with my thoughtfully crafted parenting plans is that you will be able to get out of court and stay out of court. If you're having difficulties with this, please reach out.
