Improving the lives of children and families through the constructive resolution of family conflict.

AFCC-BC Parenting Plan Guide

A parenting plan is a written document that outlines an agreement by guardians about how they will raise their child(ren) if separated or divorced and is intended to establish principles and rules to guide how guardians will share responsibilities and time with their child(ren)

AFCC-BC is pleased to present the AFCC-BC Parenting Plan Guide (the "Guide"). The Guide is a valuable, and free resource that is expected to be widely used by guardians/parents and professionals throughout the province to develop child-focused, developmentally appropriate parenting plans.

A Parenting Plan Guide Task Force has prepared the Guide by adapting AFCC Ontario's Parenting Plan Guide, a document that has been widely used by practicing family justice professionals, parents, and the Courts in Ontario.
