Summary: A fair and realistic custody agreement protects children's interests when parents split up. But reaching a parenting agreement is often easier said than done, especially when emotions run high. That's where Building a Parenting Agreement That Works can help. This practical, step-by-step guide will show parents exactly how to create a parenting plan that works for everyone. Author Mimi Lyster Zemmelman, a professional mediator, identifies dozens of issues separated parents typically face and systematically presents options to resolve them. Take advantage of practical solutions and sample language to create a workable agreement or renegotiate an existing agreement as your kids grow. The book walks you through all of the parenting issues and challenges you must consider, including: living arrangements and visitation, money issues, health care, education, religion, new partners and surnames, holidays, travel, and grandparent visits, different approaches to discipline and public health measures, alcohol and drug use, and working with professionals. Avoid child custody battles - build a win-win custody agreement that puts your children's needs first and saves you time, money, and grief.
