Parenting Plans

Why Do I Need A Parenting Plan?

If you have children and you’re going through a divorce, separation or just live in separate households, a parenting plan is essential.

A legally binding parenting plan makes co-parenting less dependent on the personal relationship, and shifts it towards a more business-like arrangement - with the parenting plan as the contract.

A parenting plan clearly outlines how you and your co-parent will share responsibilities, schedules, decision-making, and communication regarding your children. Having a detailed plan helps prevent misunderstandings, reduces conflict, and provides stability and security for your kids — all of which are crucial during a time of transition.

At Genesis Mediation of Indiana, we specialize in helping parents create customized parenting plans that truly fit their family’s unique needs. Our mediators have deep expertise in child development, family systems, and conflict resolution.

We work with both parents collaboratively to build practical, flexible agreements covering key issues such as:

Parenting time and visitation schedules

Holiday and vacation arrangements
Education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities
Communication guidelines between parents
How future changes or disputes will be handled

Because our process is affordable and inexpensive compared to court battles, families can create strong, child-centered plans without unnecessary financial strain. Plus, we offer an online co-parenting course to help parents continue building a healthy partnership even after the agreement is finalized.
