Parenting Time Counseling From A Compassionate Lawyer

Parents want to spend as much time as possible with their children. In Michigan, parenting time is based on the best interests of the children. When parents divorce or separate, the children’s best interests are served by the continuation of a strong, healthy parent-child relationship. If parenting time is in dispute, it is essential to come up with an appropriate parenting time plan – one that will foster a strong relationship between the children and each parent.

Building A Parenting Time Plan

Parenting time plans should offer structure but allow for flexibility. A sound parenting time plan should address how the children will spend weekdays and weekends; holidays and birthdays; school breaks and summers; as well as special needs children.

In addition, there are post-judgment parenting time issues that may arise as families change. A parenting-time plan may need to be adjusted if a parent changes employment or moves farther away.

A Plan To Protect Your Children

The best way for you to help your children and protect your rights is to have an appropriate parenting time plan – one that meets the needs of each parent, and more importantly, the needs of the children.
