Overview of Parenting Plans
A parenting plan is a comprehensive document that states how a child will be raised, when the child will
be with each parent, how decisions concerning the child will be made, and financial obligations.
Building a Successful Parenting Plan for Children by Nancy Porter-Thal MS, LMHC, CDM,
provides the information needed to enable parents to develop a plan
that fits their family’s needs while keeping the "best interest of the children" in focus.
The workbook covers the major categories required in a parenting plan and presents situations that will require careful
consideration before a plan is finalized. The parenting plan
workbook gives you the tools you need to create your own plan with the other parent, attorney or appropriate
person.
