Parenting Plans: Mediation as a Solution

Here at CMDR, we are receiving more requests from couples seeking assistance with parenting plans, including from couples who are not in mediation for divorce or separation but want to use mediation for drawing up a parenting plan, either to be included in their divorce agreement or as a “standalone” agreement in marriage.

Requests from parent a range of custodial scenarios, including:

• Parents seeking assistance regarding parenting issues that occur post-divorce
• Parents who are part of a blended family in which each spouse has a child (or children) from a previous marriage
• Parents of young children and/or teenagers seeking assistance and expertise in managing schedules and other demands
• Parents whose custodial arrangement is such that one parent has residential custody and the other, specified time with children
•  Parents sharing custody
• Parents of children with special needs
• Parents in poly relationships
• Parents where one parent lives out-of-state
• Parents with split custodial arrangement such that one child lives with one parent and another child or children reside(s) with the other
• …and others!

These requests spotlight mediation as a solution for parenting plans.
