A parenting agreement is a legal document that outlines the responsibilities and rights of parents in relation to their children. This agreement is often drawn up when parents are separating, and it can cover issues such as the arrangements for a child, and financial support. A parenting agreement can provide a framework for cooperation and communication between parents, and can help to ensure that the needs of the children are met.

A Parenting Agreement, or 'parenting plan', is a written document, signed by both parents, that outlines the ground rules for how each party will parent after a separation. A solicitor can help make this document legally binding.

These agreements can cover a vast range of topics; from custodial arrangements and educational decisions for the child(ren), to rules regarding new partners or use of assets.

Generally, these sorts of agreements work best when they are flexible and updated regularly to take into account how the child(ren)'s needs will change and develop.

If, however, you want this agreement to be legally binding, you will need the help of a solicitor.
