Freehold and East Brunswick Joint Custody Lawyer

Creating Parenting Plans for Joint Custody

When joint custody is awarded, the two parents will be required to submit a schedule that clearly outlines the parenting time that each parent will have a right to. The parenting plan, in cases of joint custody, should also address issues such as a parent' participation with regard to religion, education, upbringing, the making of important decisions that will impact the child, as well as any support that will be paid from one parent to the other, the amount, and frequency of payments.

These parenting plans should be very clear and carefully written to avoid problems in the future, including holidays, and where the children will be spend their time on these holidays, either days or hours. Once the parenting plan is completed, whether through negotiations with the two attorneys, or in mediation, this plan is submitted to the court, where it will become part of the divorce order, and will require compliance—from both parties.
