Are you and your partner separating and have minor children? Then you are legally obliged to draw up a parenting plan. This is not only the case if you were married or had a registered partnership, but also if you lived together and have joint parental authority. In the parenting plan, you must lay down the arrangements for the care and upbringing of the children. In doing so, a number of topics are mandatory.
