Friday PFI #5 When the Family Meets the Law: Team Approach to Family - Centered Parenting Plans

Developmentally-appropriate residential schedules and skillful co-parenting directly impact the life-long emotional and physical health of children. The post-decree family system will go through developmental transitions that when anticipated, can support
the health of the expanding family. As new adults (and often children) join the family, a creative parenting
plan speaks to this changing reality. Because these complexities are often the source of stress and conflict
prescribing solutions before disaster strikes adds to the durability of the Collaborative Process. Helping parents
find their way requires imagination and skill. Collaborative law’s ground-breaking methodology for child and
family-centered parenting plans employs a team approach that weaves together what is central to family
with a legal contract. Join us for a day of Collaborative coaching “how-tos” that results in parents co-creating
research-supported, child-centered parenting plans with future-focused, family-centered considerations.
