What is a parenting plan?
A parenting plan, or parenting agreement, is an expanded "custody" agreement with the full force of the law behind it when it's filed with the court.
A permanent, and legally binding parenting agreement or parenting plan arrangement is required by many courts, even if you and the other parent have never legally married.
Why do I need a parenting plan?
In many states, a parenting agreement, or parenting plan is required, however, for most it provides complete piece-of-mind, and eliminates:
- most arguments regarding children, or a child,
- surprise attacks from the other parent,
- questions as when each parent will have the child or children,
- who pays for what in regard to the child, or childrens, activities, clothing, school, insurance, etc., and
- the constant feeling of stress a child is under when both of his, or her, parents are with them.
The bottom line, a parenting plan gives you the piece of mind to really enjoy being with your child(ren) rather than worrying about them, their well-being, and how they are handled with their other parent.

Does an attorney need to see it, or file it?
An attorney does not need to see your Parenting Plan. However, some states may require that a person licensed by the state reviews your Parenting Plan before it's filed.
This varies from state to state, and you'll have to check with your specific state to see how it is handled.
