What can be included in a Shared Parenting Agreement?
There is freedom of choice to set out the arrangements and what is important for the children. At Stephensons we can advise you what would be the most appropriate based upon your family situation. Shared Parenting Agreements usually deal with one or more of the following:
- Day to day care – whether day to day care is shared equally or whether one will have more day to day care than the other.
- Contact – if one is to have day to day care of the children, then confirmation may be needed of the arrangements for the children to spend time with the other. This can include holidays, birthdays and other special occasions.
- Financial support – whether financial support is agreed and the arrangements for that.
- Important issues – these can include important agreements around the children’s care and/or upbringing and development such as their children’s schooling, travel and their religion.
