Separation is hard. Parenting afterwards shouldn't be.

👪 Why a Parenting Plan Matters

When a relationship ends, what matters most is maintaining strong, stable parenting. A parenting plan provides:

• •Structure and clarity around parenting roles, time, and decisions
• •Reduced conflict between co-parents through clear agreements
• •Security and routine for your children in a time of change
• •A roadmap for shared responsibilities, even as circumstances shift

It's not just about schedules. It's about making sure your children feel safe, supported, and loved by both parents.

📋 What's Included in our Parenting Plan?

Your plan should reflect your family's unique needs, but commonly includes:

• •Living arrangements – where children live and when they see each parent
• •Schooling, health & religion – joint decisions on big-picture topics
• •Communication rules – between parents and with children
• •Special occasions & holidays – fair sharing of important dates
• •Dispute resolution – steps to manage disagreements before they escalate

"A parenting plan is like a business agreement for your most important job: raising your kids."

🛡️ Why Make It Now?

Without a plan, decisions get made in the heat of the moment, or worse, by a judge. Taking proactive steps means:

• •You stay in control, not the legal system
• •You protect your kids from unnecessary conflict
• •You build a cooperative framework, reducing emotional and financial costs later

🌱 Help You Both Move Forward

This Parenting Plan is designed to be a guide for you to create your own parenting plan. It is not a legal document and does not create any legal rights or obligations.

• •Fair – balancing both parents' roles and the child's needs
• •Practical – based on real-life logistics, not legal theory
• •Compliant – aligned with Queensland and Australian family law

Whether you're starting from scratch or updating an outdated agreement, this is designed to help you both move forward.
