Custody agreements (or the lack thereof) have always been an issue when a couple with children decides to end their marriage. Developing a workable agreement over children is becoming more and more complicated. A written parenting agreement or parenting plan is a document that defines how you and your ex-spouse are going to share time and decision-making when it comes to your children.
Increasingly parents are insisting that the parenting agreements include such things as:
- Religious stipulations. For example: who pays for a bar or bat mitzvah; how long and where a child attends Sunday School, or which parent will answer the child’s questions about spirituality.
- Education plans. Where the child will be educated and who deals with the schools.
- Methods of discipline
- Guidelines for parents dating
- Alcohol or drug use around the children
