Temporary parenting plans create structure and stability for children during divorce proceedings, separations or in other situations when permanent custody arrangements are under development/modification. Typically lasting from one to six months, they are used to provide a stable framework for the child until the final parenting plan is agreed upon. In some cases, temporary parenting plans may become permanent.
When parents are embroiled in child custody battles in Illinois, failing to be involved in the child's daily activities, not addressing drug, alcohol, or other parental fitness issues, or disparaging the other parent can cause them to lose a custody case. Both parents have equal rights to pursue custody of their children and avoiding these types of conduct can help ensure that parents win custody of their children.
