Parenting Plans 

Separation brings change. But when children are involved, those changes can feel daunting. Where will they live? How will time be shared? Who decides on important matters like schooling or holidays?

For many parents, the thought of leaving these decisions to a judge — in a courtroom, under the weight of formal orders — feels unsettling. A Parenting Plan offers something different: a child-focused, flexible agreement that puts you in control.

Unlike court orders, Parenting Plans are tailored to your family. They are:

• Collaborative – shaped by both parents rather than imposed by a judge.

• Flexible – able to evolve as your children grow and circumstances change.

• Child-Centred – designed to keep children’s needs at the heart of every decision.

Most importantly, a Parenting Plan helps reduce conflict. It replaces arguments with clarity, and uncertainty with structure.

Without a Parenting Plan, small misunderstandings can snowball. Holidays, school events, birthdays — instead of enjoying these moments, parents can find themselves in conflict.

And while courts can resolve disputes, the process is often:

• Stressful – emotionally and financially draining.

• Restrictive – judges decide, not you.

• Time-consuming – months can pass before matters are resolved.

A Parenting Plan avoids these risks by giving families a clear, practical roadmap — one built on cooperation rather than confrontation.

At Alexander Christian, we bring over 30 years’ dispute resolution experience to guide parents towards agreements that last. Our role is to help you create a Parenting Plan that is:

• Practical – covering day-to-day arrangements and long-term decisions.

• Future-focused – adaptable to your family’s evolving needs.

• Protective – minimising the emotional impact on your children.

We don’t just draft documents. We facilitate conversations, reduce tension, and ensure both parents feel heard. The result? A Parenting Plan that works for everyone — especially your children.

Our clients are parents who want to invest in stability and peace of mind, rather than in prolonged disputes. They see value in:

• Protecting their children from unnecessary conflict.

• Retaining control over family decisions.

• Focusing their time and energy on careers, family life, and the future — not endless arguments with their former spouse.

Parenting Plans provide clarity, calm, and confidence during times of change. Instead of leaving arrangements to chance — or to the court — take control with a plan that reflects your family’s unique needs.
