Parenting Plans
Why Do I Need A Parenting Plan?
If you’re going through a divorce or separation and have children, a parenting plan is essential.
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.
