It is the right of a child to have a family that will foster his or her abilities, skills, intellect, and other areas of his or her life. The rights of children have always been an important and sensitive issue world wide, that is why parents who have decided to separate should take matters seriously in terms of assuring that the child will receive the least impact upon their separation either through annulment or divorce.

A parenting plan helps previous couples settle issues together, at least for the sake of their children. It is a plan that states everything about the custody of their children and matters that the children needs as they grow.

As a written document, parenting plans must always be followed and should be respected at all times. The custody or access of both parties to their children depends on this document. It entails their rights and privileges to their children especially the terms of how they will be able to raise them. These and all other agreements shall be made by both the mother and father to avoid future conflicts.

A parenting plan shall include

• the information on how parents are able to spend time with their children, together or separately;
• the days and/or times that each parent can spend with their children;
• parenting issues that needed to be changed;
• the child’s information and how the parenting plan can help; and
  
• guidelines being set by both parents; and a lot more depending on situations.

With all that is written on it, it is simply understandable that a parenting plan should always show how the child can still get his needs even if his or her parents are already separated.

Children, as studies suggest, also cope up easier with separation of their parents if they can see cooperation of both their mother and father. Seeing that there are no conflicts happening make them believe that they are the nearest to a normal family and upbringing.
