Creating a parenting time agreement (formerly known as “visitation”) and a comprehensive parenting plan can be among the most important – and stressful – issues in a divorce. The parenting time agreement is a legal document that outlines exactly when each parent will spend time with his or her child.
The parenting plan goes much further in-depth, detailing how pickups and drop-offs will be handled and much more. If you are going through a divorce, it can be extremely helpful to speak to an experienced Wheaton, IL family law attorney who can guide you through the process, helping you achieve outcomes that work for everyone involved.
How is Parenting Time Determined?
Parenting time encompasses regular day-to-day schedules as well as holidays and vacations. When determining parenting time, the court will consider the best interests of the child. If the child is old enough or mature enough, the child’s wishes may be a factor.
