Parenting plan and dispute resolution options

In all divorces where children are involved, a parenting plan must be created, which works for all concerned.  What happens if a dispute comes up?  How can it be resolved amicably?

The most common dispute resolution involves taking your former spouse back to court.  What about legal fees?  They can really mount up on post-decree matters.  When a serious dispute arises, a party can put up with the situation, go into court alone or spend money on attorney fees.

Mediation is a good alternative.  A neutral third party assists the parents in reaching a voluntary and informed settlement of their differences.  It is open and each party can express his or her needs, agreement and disagreement.  Hopefully, a fair result will be reached.

When putting together your parenting plan, it is a good idea to add how you plan on resolving any disputes that may arise.  If you have questions on how to create a good parenting plan, contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney for the help and advice you need.
