A Parenting Plan is a non-binding document used by parents to document their parenting arrangements.

They can set out how they plan to co-parent their child and or children and set out a time schedule for when the children spend time with each parent. This document can encompass parental responsibility, living arrangements and schedules for the children, education, expenses and other matters such as extra-curricular activities, school holidays and generally how your children will be raised by both parents in separate households.

Although this document is not legally binding it assists parents in addressing important parenting issues and reaching an agreement between each other. A Parenting Plan can be modified, changed and amended by way of agreement between both parents without requiring the intervention of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
