Frequently Asked Questions

Is an AI-generated parenting plan legally valid?

Not until a court approves it — but a clearly written plan is exactly what courts and mediators want to see. Use this tool to draft it, then work with a family law attorney or mediator to get it filed. A well-drafted plan speeds that process significantly.

What should a parenting plan include?

Physical custody schedule (regular weeks, holidays, school breaks), legal custody (who makes decisions about school, medical, religion), communication rules, how disputes get resolved, and how the plan gets modified if circumstances change.

Can I use this if we agree on everything already?

Yes — this is the best use case. If you and the other parent are aligned, this tool gets that agreement into a clear written document that a court can approve without a fight. Informal agreements are unenforceable; written plans are.

What if we disagree on custody?

Use this tool to draft your preferred arrangement and bring it to mediation or your attorney. Having a clear written starting point is better than going in with nothing.

How specific should I be about the schedule?

As specific as possible. Vague plans ("we'll figure out holidays as they come") create conflict. Spell out which parent has the child on each holiday, who handles pickups, and what happens when the schedule changes.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is a drafting assistant designed to help you organize your thoughts and structure your documents. It does not constitute legal advice — always consult a qualified family law attorney before taking legal action.

Will a court accept this document?

Courts want clear, well-organized documents. This tool helps you create a strong starting point, but a family law attorney should review your draft before filing anything with the court.

Is my family's information stored?

No. Your information is processed to generate the draft and immediately discarded. We never store, share, or train on your personal data.

What's a parenting plan?

A written agreement covering the custody schedule, holiday and vacation arrangements, decision-making responsibilities (education, healthcare, religion), communication guidelines, and how future disputes will be resolved.

Can I use this if I can't afford a lawyer?

Yes. Many courts accept self-filed (pro se) documents. This tool helps you create organized, clear drafts. Legal aid organizations in your area may also review your draft for free or at reduced cost.
