Creating a Parenting Plan in Texas That Works for Your Family
In 2005, the Texas government made parenting plans a mandatory component of all divorce proceedings that involved minor children. The idea behind the parenting plan is to minimize future disputes between the former spouses while also providing the child with the continuity and care that they need to navigate a difficult, emotional time.
The court system requires several components to form a portion of all parenting plans in Texas. For instance, the plan must clearly define with which parent the child will live. This may mean that one parent has primary physical custody while the other parent has possession and access or “visitation” rights. Alternatively, parents who share custody with a joint managing conservatorship may split the child’s residence depending upon certain days of the week or weeks of the month.
Parenting plans are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Each one can be uniquely crafted to reflect the needs and desires of an individual family. This can be a difficult and contentious process during which it may be advisable to seek legal counsel and advice professional help and guidance.
