Trying to figure out how long a parenting plan is usually scheduled for. A year, 6 months or maybe even less?
I like to do a parenting plan that covers timesharing until the child is 18 years old.
My ex's job has her traveling quire a bit and she constantly wants to change our week to week schedule. She would like to do a parenting plan only a month or two in advance however I would be fine with a year, excluding summers. It is a constant source of conflict.
Typically a parenting plan is done based on the current best interests of the child. If it needs to be modified in the future then the person seeking modification files with the court to do so and holds the burden of proving that it should be modified. It is not common for a parenting plan to... Read more »
I have asked via phone, email, and text. What options do I have?

My wife and I have had a guardianship of a little boy for almost 6 years. We filed adoption almost 2 years ago, bio mom signed consent. Bio dad showed up to 1 of 3 mediations and 30% of visitations.
Divorce looks imminent for us, but we want to make sure our boy is safe with us.
Technically, if the adoption is not final before you divorce then it will become an issue, as the statute does not allow two single people to adopt the same child. It can be one person or one married couple. If you get divorced after the adoption is final then you will have custody questions just... Read more »

SS card currently reflects 1st name, middle initial and married name. I’m divorced and requesting to change my name back to 1st name, middle name and maiden name. Ive recently updated my drivers license to what I’m petitioning for.

Best of luck!
