Knowing where to start when looking at the arrangements for children when parents separate or divorce can be difficult. Oratto has produced a parenting plan questionnaire to help you get started with your discussions. Our Parenting Plan is free to download, and can help facilitate a constructive discussion between parents about parenting after separation, keeping the children at the heart of the discussions.

Parenting Plans can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
• Proposing suggested arrangements for the consideration of the other parent
• A mediation process
• Enabling a discussion between parents about child arrangements
• Formalising agreed arrangements for children
• Including a parenting plan with a C100 application for a child arrangements, specific issue or prohibited steps order.

Oratto is a free on-line resource full of information and guides about the divorce process, financial settlements in divorce, child arrangements (sometimes referred to as child custody), co-habitation separation, pre and post nuptial agreements, and much more.

If you are considering or facing a separation or divorce, it is important that you know that you are not alone. You can call our Helpline for some free advice and starting information, and we have local divorce lawyers who are available to discuss your situation with you, and explain how they can help you.

This service is available to all and applications can be made on a self-referral basis.
