Putting children first after separation.
A well-structured parenting plan can reduce conflict and provide children with the stability they need after separation or divorce. Under the Family Law Act, parenting arrangements in British Columbia must focus on the best interests of the child. A parenting plan sets out how important decisions will be made and how parenting time will be shared between parents.
Our family lawyers work with parents to create clear, practical, and legally sound parenting plans that reflect both the law and the unique needs of your family. Whether you have a cooperative co-parenting relationship or are facing more challenging circumstances, we provide guidance to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
A Parenting Plan may include:
- Parenting time and weekly schedules
- Decision-making responsibilities
- Holiday and vacation arrangements
- Guidelines for communication between parents and with the child
- Methods for resolving disputes if conflicts arise
We assist with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating parenting plans, either as stand-alone agreements or as part of a separation agreement or court order. Our focus is always on creating a plan that reduces uncertainty and supports your child’s well-being.
