How can I obtain a parenting agreement?

A parenting agreement sets out what has been decided between parents on the arrangements for the children, usually in connection with separation. There is a model structure for such agreements published by the Scottish Government as a Parenting Plan (https://www.mygov.scot/parentingplan/). Parents who find it difficult to reach agreement can try using Family Mediation (https://www.relationships-scotland.org.uk/family-mediation) as a way of putting an agreement together. Lawyers can also assist in making an agreement, and then make it more official by registering it with the court.n
