If you were never married to the other parent of your child(ren), you still have legal rights regarding custody, visitation and child support (unless something has occurred to impact your legal rights). Having a reliable and consistent Parenting Plan based on what is in the child(ren)’s best interests ensures that your rights are protected. In addition to having an enforceable agreement on a parenting schedule, a Custody Order confirms a parent’s right to access the child’s medical records, caregivers, school, and other information that pertains to the child’s well-being.
