It is a common misconception you can be vague when complying with the parenting plan requirement.
If you have minor children you cannot get divorced without a detailed Parenting Plan. It is that simple.
I often meet with couples who agree that their marriage has come to an end and want to divorce. They have worked out mutually-agreeable terms including who will have the children and when.
But be forewarned if there is not a detailed, written Parenting Plan the divorce request may be denied. A thorough Parenting Plan with major points like a time sharing schedule, holidays and vacations is in everyone’s best interest and will be referenced by the courts if future actions are taken.
So where do you start your Parenting Plan? Florida has a website with forms that will help. Start by visiting flcourts.org Family Law Forms section. There you will find a downloadable PDF or Word document based on your situation.
