Exclusive! Divorce Researcher's (Child Custody) Parenting Plan Optionsfirst posted on: 3/23/2003
We are incredibly fortunate to host on our Colorado mediation website, Some Child Custody Parenting Plan Options (for Children of School Age) as formulated by pre-eminent divorce researcher, Joan B. Kelly, Ph.D.
Dr. Kelly is an internationally renowned clinical psychologist, mediator and educator, and the author of several seminal books – including Surviving the Breakup: How Children and Parents Cope With Divorce (see our website link at For Your Family - Recommended Divorce & Child Custody Books).
These Child Custody Parenting Plan Options reflect Dr. Kelly's latest outline and thoughts (from a researcher and clinician’s view) regarding some common approaches for custody plans sharing parenting time with children. These have been recently presented at professional meetings across  the country, including a Colorado presentation in 2003. Dr. Kelly has been gracious to collaborate with us in our website’s development and presentation of this informational tool with special illustrative graphics of several child custody schedules.
As noted in another article posted at The Latest! section of our website, this feature recently received “Best of the Net” recognition by the independent Divorce Support Guide to shared parenting and child custody resources.
Mediation is all about finding the right approach for your family – as you and your spouse or co-parent consider many factors together to arrive at a mutual future vision of your child custody and parenting plan. We hope you find these special resources helpful in this work.
