I have been preparing parenting plans or parenting agreements for clients for over 25 years and it is as a result of that experience that I developed ParBasic as a method for individuals to design a comprehensive parenting plan without needing an attorney. Please don’t misunderstand me. Most clients need an attorney for this important task. However, some people, either cannot afford this or choose to proceed on their own. ParBasic provides them the chance to follow my method without hiring me.

On this Blog I will periodically give away some of my means of dealing with parenting plan issues that ParBasic users can use for their cases.

To prepare a parenting plan you need to consider a varied list of issues and make provision for them. Fathers, who often have not had thorough involvement should make provisions to assure future involvement. Mothers need to maintain continuity for your children and join with your new parenting partner.

It is not difficult with ParBasic. Download the software. Open the program. Read the instructions. And choose the first questionnaire – Parenting Plan Questionnaire. Then begin answering the questions, one at a time, and as you end a page, click the next button at the bottom and repeat for the next question.

When we do this in the office, we discuss the questions with our clients, and urge clients to think through their answers. We give them suggestions of alternative answers. When you use ParBasic, on your own, we ask you to do the same. Think through your answers and provide the answers that will promote your child’s best interests.

After you go through all questions and either answer them or skip the ones that you feel are not needed for your plan, click to print ICON and your proposed plan comes out. I’ll send you more as days go on. Check some of the other listed blogs from me and other ParBasic Users. This is a true lawyers tool used all over the country.
