These are 3 things parents need to address when negotiating & creating a parenting time plan.
It is important that you address these things with the other parent when negotiating & drafting a parenting plan.
1. Do you want sole custody or joint custody
Custody or Legal Decision Making means your & the other parent's ability to make major decisions about the lives of your children. Decisions such as medicine, education, and personal care decisions. So you need to think about if you want sole or joint custody. Once you've hammered that out, you need to start thinking about what parenting time plan you're going to be asking the other party to share with you.
There are lots of different parenting plans out there. You really should be thinking about the best interest of your kids and coming up with a plan for them so some people have a week on we got planned other people have one parent gets every other weekend so I would encourage you to do your research. Look at websites & figure out what plan works best for the kids & map it out with begin times and end times.
2. Planning Holidays
Once you have in your mind whatever parenting plan that you're going to go for the next thing to do is to move onto holidays. What are you going to be requesting for different holidays. You & the other parent may not celebrate the same holidays that most other people do. For example not everybody celebrates Christmas or Easter.
It’s important to define what each holiday is going to be in terms of start times and end times because really as I talked about in the video last week ( • 3 Tips for Divorced Pa... ) that’s where people get into conflict especially around this time of year, Christmas & New Years. If you don't set start and end times it really could lead to a major incident that creates & not so great memory for the kids.
3. Vacations
You also want to think about vacation parenting time. As your kids get to be school-age they're going to be getting vacation like summer vacation in most cases. Some kids go to school year round but do you want you and the other parent to have the ability to take a week or two with the kids and go out of state or take a trip to Disneyland. So it is super important for you to include this into your parenting plan & propose to the other park party what specific vacation schedule you're asking for.
You also should be putting what notification schedule you want, in other words how far in advance do each of you need to let the other parent know if you're going to be taking a vacation & what sorts of information do you want to have before your child goes on vacation with the other parent. And are you willing to provide that same information.
If you're going into the courtroom you really need to have outlined these things for the court with specificity. The more specific you are the better you and the other parent are going to be in the future. Especially if it dispute comes up because then you can go right to the parenting plan & look at it. If it's not in the parenting plan then you're going to probably find yourself in custody court.

MrWolfe I looked it up deeply terminating the parenting rights I live in Canada if the parent gives up their rights or It's removed by the court they still have to pay child support. I looked into it very deeply due to the children being in abuse by their father this is someone I'm not taking lightly. I feel It's necessary in my case. The other parent won't have a say in the children, but still have to pay child support, I hope this helps.

In my case there is no negotiation I'm the victim of conjugal abuse my ex has turned out to be a narrastist unfortunately I have to look at parallel parenting and walk on egg shells and not show my hand until It's in court in front of a judge. There's only negotiations when It's amicable which in my case is not even close I have been threatened and the kids and neglect and further abuse towards the kids my ex is a very angry aggressive person I worry for our safety if you're in abuse this isn't safe neither is meditation I have to go to court and let them decide.

Hi Wendy! That's the problem with my ex right now we have been divorced now for about 8 years now and he cant even negotiate a parenting plan with me?! We have 3 children together ages 17, 14 and 11! We are still fighting in court because I'm still trying to get more time with my kids! Short story I left my ex because he was abusive i filed for divorce we had 50/50 then he became mean and a jerk towards me and it went down hill for me after that! Because of the lies he tells the court I keep losing more time so sad! He took me back to court about 2 years ago to get full custody but he didn't get it because I wasn't do anything wrong so the judge had me take counseling with me 3 children to build our relationship back up because of my ex. It's really sad what damage my ex is doing until now with our children?! Hes just seeing what's best for him and not our 3 children! They are growing up and I'm missing out on everything I only see them 3 Saturdays out of the month and he never tells me anything if i dont asked he won't say anything! I've tried inviting him to talkingparent.com he doesn't care. I want to take him back to court but every time I do that he threatens and tells me okay go ahead but you will never see your kids again!! It's been really hard and tough on me! I know my kids are tired of mom and dad going to court but I feel I dont have a choice?! And my kids said they are tired of going to counseling to! I just dont know what to do anymore but I'm trying really hard to stay strong for my kids! Anyways I'm sorry so much stuff just hard to deal with! 🙄😔😔

Hi Wendy I have a quick question actually two. When will you be offering your course again for the 497.? My discovery deadline and pretrial is getting moved by 60 days I think I'll be able to afford it next month and have time to work on it. Secondly should I prepare a parenting plan for my pre-trial and offered as evidence for the other side to look at.The GAL wrote 175 singlespaced report recommending that I take sole legal and physical custody of our children. Obviously I still have to prove my case but will base my parenting plan if I need to do one, on her findings as well as mine. I'm the one with the cluster B personality disorder ex that has lifted 13 years of a nightmare. Thank you very much.

Hi Dar! SO happy to hear that the GAL report was in your favor. I definitely recommend preparing a proposed parenting plan and including that in your pre-trial statement. Please keep me posted on how things evolve! I am planning to open up Command the Courtroom in January 2017. Are you on my email list? If you are, you'll get notice of when enrollment opens. xx Wendy

I wish these decisions were as easy to decide as you make it seem. Then again, your advice probably isn't intended for men. Oh well.
