Creating a parenting time schedule that meets the needs of the child and provides both parents with the opportunity to spend quality time with their children can be difficult for anyone. When one or both parents serve in the military, making the right parenting plan can be even more challenging. Military parents will often need to build flexibility into their parenting plan if there is a chance that a parent will be deployed before the child turns 18 years old. Most people who serve in the military do not remain stationed in the same place for more than a few years at a time, so if your children are younger than about 16 years old, it is likely that parental relocation will become an issue during your proceedings. An experienced Naperville, IL, child custody lawyer can help you create a plan that works for you and your children.
