Parenting Planning
Building a plan your child can grow with — crafted by you, guided by expertise.
A plan that actually fits your family.
No two families are the same — and no parenting plan should be. Boilerplate agreements pulled from templates may satisfy a court's requirements, but they rarely serve children well over time.
Our parenting planning service guides you through building a comprehensive agreement that accounts for your child's developmental stage, temperament, schooling, activities, relationships, and changing needs as they grow.
A comprehensive plan covers more than you think.
Residential Schedules
Day-to-day living arrangements, week-to-week schedules, and transitions between homes.
Holidays & Special Days
Clear, detailed plans for holidays, school breaks, birthdays, and family events.
Education & Schooling
Decision-making for school enrollment, homework help, and parent-teacher communication.
Medical & Health Decisions
How medical decisions are made, provider communication, and health insurance.
Activities & Extracurriculars
Who enrolls children in activities, how costs are shared, and how each parent supports participation.
Travel & Relocation
Rules for travel with children, passport consent, and relocation procedures.
Communication Protocols
How parents communicate, how children stay in touch with the other parent, and technology guidelines.
Modification Procedures
Built-in review points and agreed processes for modification as your child grows.
Dispute Resolution
Agreed steps before returning to litigation, preserving your relationship and resources.
And more based on the needs of your family.
Why work with a mediator-professional psychologist?
A parenting plan negotiated through attorneys focuses primarily on legal sufficiency. A parenting plan built through our process focuses on your child's actual life.
Dr. Jones brings both the psychological depth to understand child development and family dynamics, and the mediation skill to guide two parents — who may deeply disagree — to agreements they can live with.
