How To Create A Great Parenting Plan After Your Divorce

How do I create a parenting plan that is "best for my children"?

What is best for children is a principle that's used and said over and over. I don't know to what extent it's used – that's a problem. It's said over and over – My plan is best for the children – No, no, my plan is best for the children. You can always have an argument one way or another about what's best for children. So, applying this principle of what's best for the children can be extremely complicated, particularly when the parents don't agree, and they don't agree on a lot of things – that's why they're getting a divorce. So, the courts are appealed to to decide what is best for the children. It gets thrown around a lot and it doesn't necessarily end up being best for the children. There's a lot of negotiating, there's a lot of gray area here, and people have a tendency to think in black and white during the time when they're getting a divorce.
