Child Custody and Parenting Plans

Child custody and the definition of parenting plans are two fundamental aspects in cases of separation or divorce, as they have a direct impact on the stability and well-being of the child. At the Bianucci Law Firm in Milan, we offer specialized legal assistance to manage these delicate issues, ensuring that every decision is made in the best interest of the child.

Child custody involves identifying the parent with whom the child will primarily reside, while the parenting plan is a tool that regulates in detail how each parent will participate in the child's life after separation.

A well-structured parenting plan promotes the well-being of the child and collaboration between parents, reducing conflicts and misunderstandings.

Child Custody

Child custody is established considering the child's psychological, educational, and social well-being. Among the criteria evaluated by the judge are:

  • The emotional relationship with each parent;
  • The ability of each parent to provide a stable and safe environment;
  • The proximity to school, friends, and the child's usual places;
  • The child's opinion, if compatible with their age and maturity.

In many cases, the child is placed with one parent, maintaining a regular visitation schedule with the other.

Parenting Plans

The parenting plan is a document that details the management of the child after separation, including:

  • The division of time between parents (holidays, weekends, school periods);
  • Decisions regarding education, health, and activities of the child;
  • Communication methods between parents and with the child;
  • Management of extraordinary commitments and emergencies.

This tool is essential to prevent conflicts and ensure a peaceful and collaborative co-parenting.
