Revisiting and Updating the Divorce Agreement

The following is a check list of issues which are usually addressed in the initial settlement agreement. Because parents often change their position on these issues over time, and because children change their needs as they mature, crafting an adequate document necessitates building in a compulsory review procedure that does not require a court appearance.

--The schedule of time of each child with each parent

--Mechanisms for maintaining contact with both parents

--The "wheres and hows" of transitions and handovers

--Financial support issues

--Responsibilities for future financial obligations

--Access of the extended family to the children

--Access of both parents to school records and events

--Access of both parents to information from medical providers
