Elements of creative parenting plans
Whether you are going through a divorce, have never been married, or are involved in post-decree modification proceedings, you and your child's other parent will be encouraged by our attorneys to work cooperatively to find an arrangement for shared physical and legal custody that enhances your relationship with your child. We may suggest a variety of strategies, such as:
- Involve grandparents to occasionally pick up at school or fill in another gap.
- Use technology — a custody agreement can include a provision that the custodial parent provide a phone, e-mail, or video conferencing available so the non-custodial parent can have daily contact.
- Coach your child's sports team, or volunteer to drive to a music lesson, even if it is not scheduled time with your child.
The relationship between custody and child support
It is important to work with an attorney with the appropriate experience in crafting parenting plans to see that the plan provides you with all the benefits possible. The court's order for child support will be partially based on the amount of time your child spends at each residence.
That is where the relationship between visitation, custody, and support ends. A parent cannot withhold child support because of a breach of the visitation agreement. Likewise, missed support payments do not allow the custodial parent to deny visitation.
