Frequently Asked Questions

  Question: We don't have a parenting plan.  Do we have equal rights to see our child?

 
Answer:

Yes.  Parents usually have equal parenting rights until a court says that they don't. You can ask a court to make a parenting plan. The parenting plan will decide how you and the other parent will share parenting duties. Parenting plans are required during a divorce. They are useful for parents who are not married, too. You and the other parent may be able to agree on all or part of the parenting plan. The judge will decide about the parts of the plan you can't agree on.  For links to forms, information, and resources for parenting plans, click here.
