4 TIPS FOR CREATING A GREAT PARENTING PLAN
A parenting plan describes which parent will be
responsible for certain aspects of a childs
life. Whether it is sufficient under Florida law
will always depend on what is in the best
interests of the child. However, parenting plans
make parents life easier tooif they are done
correctly. You know exactly what your obligations
are regarding your child if your plan is
developed successfully.

Fort Lauderdale Divorce Attorney
Creating a workable plan can be difficult, but a
Fort Lauderdale divorce attorney can be a
valuable asset. An experienced professional like
Gustavo E. Frances can help you create a plan
that addresses issues that you may not have
thought about on your own. Creating a
comprehensive plan will make joint-parenting much
easier to manage.
4
BE AS EXTENSIVE AS POSSIBLE
Take some time to think about the daily
obligations that you have that relate to your
child. Make a list of each of these items and
determine who will take responsibility for these
tasks. For example, if you know that your child
regularly has soccer games on Saturdays and he or
she will have those for the foreseeable future,
include who will take the child to these games in
your plan. This is your plan, and you can be as
specific as you would like.
5
CREATE A PLAN THAT WILL GROW WITH YOU
Being detailed while also creating some room for
flexibility will allow the plan to grow with your
child. Keep in mind that school activities and
daycare change over time. Speaking in
generalities (such as saying activities instead
of soccer practice) will help you avoid having
to go back to court to modify a parenting plan.
This process can be tricky, but your Fort
Lauderdale family law lawyer will be able to help
you craft a system that will work well for your
family.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PARENT
Communication is extremely important for
co-parenting that works well. Sometimes couples
who got divorced or are separated have a hard
time communicating because of the contentious
nature of their relationship. You can consider
this concern as part of your parenting plan and
build in a way to keep up with changes and other
important aspects of your childs life.
7
CREATE A DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
If you and the other parent have a problem
regarding the parenting plan, how are you going
to resolve it? Going back to court to ask a judge
to help is expensive and time-consuming. Is there
another way that you can take care of a dispute
on your own? You can build in this type of
consideration, and your Fort Lauderdale family
law attorney can help provide a few ideas on how
you can do this.
