Parenting plan

A parenting plan is like a special plan that parents make when they don't live together anymore. It tells everyone what's going to happen with the kids. It's like a big list of things that everyone agrees to do to make sure the kids are safe, healthy, and happy.

It has all kinds of important information in it, like when the kids will spend time with each parent, where they will go to school, when and where they will go to the doctor, and how they will celebrate holidays and special occasions.

The plan is made by the parents and they have to work together to agree on everything in it. It's like making a special schedule for the kids, but it also helps parents to work together so that everyone knows what's going on and the kids can feel safe and secure.
