Parenting Plans

Parenting Plans are voluntary and not technically legally binding in the same manner that Parenting Orders are. They are a voluntary agreement that covers the day-to-day responsibilities of a child’s(children’s) daily life. While not legally enforceable, it is looked at favourably by courts as it entails an amicable agreement has been reached between separated parents with the best interests of the child as the focal.

If both parental figures have signed the parenting plan, it can be changed at anytime with the proviso that both parties on the parenting plans agree to the updated terms. Furthermore, if both parties agree and have signed their respective parenting plans, they can apply to the court to have it set as court order.
