Court-Ordered Parenting Plans Are One-Size-Fits-All
Judges do not know your children, your routines, or your family values. Court-ordered parenting plans are often rigid and difficult to follow in real life.
These plans frequently:
- Lack flexibility
- Ignore child development needs
- Fail to address communication issues
- Create future conflict
For parents, this often means repeated trips back to court.
Why Parenting Coaches Improve Divorce Outcomes for Children
In a collaborative divorce, parenting plans are developed with the help of trained parenting coaches who understand child development and family dynamics.
Parenting coaches help parents:
- Create age-appropriate schedules
- Learn effective co-parent communication
- Reduce conflict around transitions
- Keep children out of adult disputes
Building Parenting Plans That Work Long-Term
A strong parenting plan looks beyond today. It anticipates:
- Holidays and special occasions
- School changes
- Travel and extracurricular activities
- New relationships
- Future conflict-resolution methods
This forward-thinking approach reduces future disputes and provides children with predictability and emotional security.
