Probably the most important question in the mind of your teenager is 'When will I be able to drive?' Addressing this issue in the Parenting Plan can avoid any confusion when this question comes up.
When going through a divorce or seperation it is sometimes easy to overlook the small things that protect our children. In your parenting plan you need to address ALL issues regarding the child or children- not just the big issues, such as protective gear when playing sports. And which sports they are allowed to play.
