Custody Plans Tailored To Your Family’s Needs

For separating parents, designing a child custody plan that allows the child to spend adequate time with both parents can be challenging. Navigating new boundaries and the logistics of shuttling a child back and forth between two homes can further complicate custody sharing. When issues arise, you need experienced help. The child custody lawyers at [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-1"] can help you create and implement a custody plan.

Creating Stability For Your Child

For children experiencing divorce, the significant changes and upheaval can be overwhelming. Creating a new routine that allows the child to spend time with each parent can help them adjust and find a new sense of normal. If you and your child’s other parent are struggling to come to an agreement regarding time-sharing, our lawyers can help you.

Decision Making Made Easier

Under Washington’s custody laws, each parent’s time with a child is outlined in a parenting plan instead of a joint custody or visitation plan. The parenting plan addresses the responsibilities of each parent and the time a child spends in their care. While creating a parenting plan, parents make decisions regarding when each parent will spend time with the child for vacations, holidays and birthdays in addition to normal time-sharing. By establishing a time-sharing schedule in advance, disagreements over special days are no longer an issue.

Modifying Plans As Needs Change

Change is a constant factor for both parents and children alike. As the needs of the child evolve or a parent’s schedule changes, the parenting plan may no longer be appropriate. If there has been a substantial change in circumstances, Washington courts allow you to request a modification to your parenting plan.
