Utah Advisory Guidelines | Parenting Plans

Anytime you have a joint custody arrangement, whether it is joint physical custody, joint legal, or both, the court will require you file a parenting plan. A parenting plan is suppose to layout the grounds rules upon how the joint custody arrangement will work and help to avoid conflict between the parents. The plan can address any issue which will help avoid the potential for conflict regarding the kids including such things as drop off and pick times and locations; what kinds of activities are acceptable while the kids are in a parents care; who will make certain decision such as where the children go to school, and virtually any other matter which may need to be addresses and which will help the parents work towards the mutual best interests of the children.

Standard Guidelines for Parents

The state legislature included some suggestions for parenting provisions known as the Advisory Guidelines in the divorce laws in Utah. Many parents simply adopt these guidelines as their parenting plan because, for the most part, these guidelines help most parents effectively parent following divorce. Now every case is different so the standard guidelines may not work well for you and your particular situation.
