What if both parents agree on child support and visitation?
This is the ideal situation. Absent extenuating circumstances (such as abuse or neglect), the parenting plan agreed upon by both parents becomes the parenting plan. If the issue of child support and visitation is not raised in a court action, the agreements worked out between the parents is left undisturbed. The agreement does not have to be reduced to a writing signed by both parents but a written, signed parenting plan is preferable for future reference. In addition, a written, signed parenting plan can typically be entered as a Stipulation between the parties and then issued as a court order for future enforcement purposes.
