Parenting plans dictate arrangements regarding the care and custody of children in cases where a couple is divorced or otherwise no longer together. Negotiated through Illinois child time-sharing proceedings, parenting plans aim at protecting the child’s best interests while encouraging both parties to remain active and involved in their lives. However, in order for a parenting plan to be successful, it requires the cooperation of both parties. The following are five common problems that are likely to arise, as well as information on how to address them.

This is done through the use of parenting plans, which may be negotiated through your attorney.

Problems often arise when one of the parents fails to hold up his or her end of the agreement. Among the most common include:
