What is a Parenting Plan?

A parenting plan refers to a written document relative to custody and parenting time.  It includes the access schedule with the child for each parent and assigns responsibility to each or both parents for making major decisions regarding the minor child.  Finally, a parenting plan also articulates a method of resolving future disputes regarding the minor child.
