Our skill and knowledge can help you get the most out of the time you spend with your children, regardless of whether you are the custodial parent or you just have visitation rights.

The Features of a Parenting Plan
Because every family is different, there is no one-size-fits-all parenting plan that is suitable for all families. In general, however, most parenting plans answer the following questions:
- Who has the children on which days?
- Who makes decisions about the child's health?
- Will there be extended visitation when the child is on school breaks?
- Who pays for extracurricular activities?
- Where will the child be on birthdays and holidays?
- Who makes decisions about the child's education?
- What are the child support arrangements?
Parenting plans are typically quite detailed, accounting for every hour of your child's life - from weekends, to holidays, to summer breaks and vacations. Drop off and pick up times are specified and all of these details must be adhered to.
At the Law Office of Marlene Dancer Adams, we understand that a parenting plan needs to address the needs of the children above all other considerations. We have a command of the details to ensure that this crucial imperative is met.
