Some parents are able to reach agreements about integrating a returning parent into the life of a child without needing attorneys or the court. Others will need court orders. Both may benefit from professional assistance.
Whatever your situation, here are the basics for an agreement.
1 We will both seek counseling.
2 Our children will receive counseling.
3 We will focus our attention and conversations on our children.
4 We will build up the amount of time the returning parent spends with our children.
5 The primary parent will retain the support systems and schedule established while the returning parent was absent.
6 To make sure that the returning parent's reentry into our children's lives is for the long term, we will meet monthly for a coparenting meeting (facilitated if we agree on that) to make necessary modifications to our initial agreements.
7 We agree that we will use facilitated coparenting meetings with a neutral professional who has expertise in child development and family resturucting prior to using court resources whether attorneys are involved or not.
