Co-parenting after a relationship breakdown can be incredibly challenging for you and can have a significant impact on your children. Family Lawyers are extremely helpful in finding a middle ground and navigating through such co-parenting challenges.
What is co-parenting?
Co-parenting, or shared parenting, is when two people who have children separate. They then carry on raising their children together even though they are no longer in a relationship. The vision is to create a stable environment for the children and for both parents to be involved in their upbringing.
How can Family Lawyers assist?
Creating a Parenting Plan
Lawyers are third parties and are less emotionally invested when determining the time schedule for the children. A Lawyer can help you draft a parenting plan that outlines specific agreed arrangements for your children, including where the children should live, the amount of time they should spend with each parent, and decision-making responsibilities.
Mediation and Negotiation
Lawyers can facilitate discussions between parents who find it difficult to communicate. Lawyers can ensure that both parties’ needs are met and that the solution is fair and reasonable. This can reduce legal costs and help you to reach an agreement before going to court.
Modifying Agreements
As separation/ divorce can be a lengthy process, circumstances can change which may require Child Arrangement Orders to be amended. We can assist you in applying to court and amending the orders as required.
