When you and the other parent decide to end your relationship, it can be difficult to hammer out the details. Even if you have come to this conclusion together, reaching agreements in key areas can be a struggle on your own. This happens commonly with testy issues like financial division, and you want to make sure that you are prepared for the harder parts of your divorce. When it comes to any shared children, crafting a flexible parenting plan can help both of you to better understand your rights and responsibilities.
At The Law Office of Amendola & Amendola in Fairfield, CT, we can help you to develop a parenting plan that works for both parents. This approach can be a benefit to both parents and children by giving you two the option to work through things together. If you and your former partner can align on key elements of parenting, put them into writing so that everyone knows their role. A positive parenting plan can also be a huge help in forming a schedule that works for each of you, as this can be a significant hurdle for young families.
