Parenting Plan Development

(AFCC-Ontario, Parenting Plan Guide, October 2026)

What is a Parenting Plan?

A parenting plan is an agreement between parents about how they will raise their children following a separation or divorce. The Parenting Plan Guide was created by the Ontario Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC-Ontario).

At GTA Family Therapy, we guide you in the development of your parenting plan in accordance with the AFCC-Ontario resources. We are experienced in complex family dynamics and the many hardships associated. We are compassionate and child-focused in our approach.

See the AFCC-Ontario website for more information about Parenting Plans.

Content of Parenting Plans

Parenting plans are specific to each family and the needs of each child. According to the AFCC-Ontario Parenting Plan Guide some of the areas addressed may include:

  • When the child/ren will spend time with each parent

  • How the parents will make major and day-to-day decisions about their child/ren

  • How information is shared and communicated between parents

  • How other related issues may be addressed, such as involvement of a new partner with the child/ren

  • How future disagreements about the child/ren are to be resolved

Why Seek Professional Help?

Parents can create these plans on their own, however, professional assistance can ensure that both parties are heard, and that the needs of your child/ren are put first.
