This class teaches the basic framework of parenting plans and custody agreements used in family court. You’ll learn what parenting plans can do, what they can’t do, and why clear agreements help reduce future conflict and can save you thousands of dollars. This class also explains an important truth: a parenting plan cannot force another parent to be nice, cooperative, or easy to work with — but it can create structure, clarity, and expectations that help reduce problems over time and provide a clearer path when disagreements do arise.

CLASS 2:
Decision-Making & Legal Custody
You’ll learn how decision-making and legal custody work in parenting plans and custody agreements, including the difference between joint legal custody (where both parents share decision-making), sole legal custody (where one parent has final authority), and tie-breaker provisions used in many family court custody agreements.
You’ll learn how clearer parenting plan language can help reduce co-parenting disagreements, lower conflict, and avoid expensive family court battles — especially in high-conflict custody cases.
This class breaks down the major decision-making topics commonly included in family court custody agreements, including school and education, non-emergency healthcare, extracurricular activities, religion, and major life decisions. We also go beyond standard parenting plan templates and cover other issues that often create co-parenting conflict, including social media and technology, travel, teen driving privileges, jobs, appearance decisions, and other important life choices that affect your children.
