Setting up a parenting plan can be a complex process. Kane County child custody lawyers can help walk you through the process and give you a better idea of what to expect. Since every situation is unique, consult an attorney before moving forward with your child custody plan to get a better idea of how to manage your specific child custody needs.
How Will Having a Boyfriend or Girlfriend Impact a Parenting Plan?Typically, the court’s concern is ensuring that your child or children’s wellbeing will be ensured and that they are supported by their family members. Having a boyfriend or girlfriend should not have a substantial overall impact on how your parenting plan is set up. However, if you have a significant other at the time you are setting up the parenting plan, it may create some changes in the way you approach it.
The Potential Influence of a Boyfriend or Girlfriend on a Parenting Plan
Your parenting plan may include a specific decree that notes whether you can have overnight guests of the opposite sex who are not related to you in your home when you have your children. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend when you’re setting up the plan, it may trigger your child’s other parent to ask for those stipulations. Furthermore, your parenting plan may contain a requirement that your child’s other parent–rather than your significant other–is the first babysitter if you need another childcare provider during your parenting time.
