FAQ
While the specific term "parallel parenting" may not appear in every state's family law statutes, courts routinely approve parenting plans that reflect parallel parenting principles, structured schedules, written-only communication, and independent decision-making. In high-conflict cases, judges may actually recommend or order these kinds of provisions. If you are working with a family law attorney, they can help you formalize a parallel parenting arrangement within your custody order.
