Detail is the Key to a Successful Plan
With more than eight years of experience working for Missouri's family court, I know what judges will respond well to — the more detailed the parenting plan, the better.
Many parents come to me thinking they will simply as for 50-50 custody. However, that leaves many questions unanswered. It is important to consider many possibilities and address as many of these issues as possible:
- Who will spend Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays and other special days with the child?
- Can both parents be with the child at the same time for any reason?
- Who will make major decisions on the child's behalf? For example, where will your kids go to school? What doctor will they see? What sports will they play?
- Which parent can claim the tax exemption for the child?
- Will the child's toys and clothing travel between the parents?
As a parent, you want to make the best choice possible for your kids. I can help you do that. Together, we will develop a detailed plan that meets your child's needs as well as your own.
