Once child/ren are added to a Parenting Matter in FamilyProperty, you can put in custom parenting arrangements which can then be used to automatically generate Parenting Plans and Parenting Orders.
These arrangements will also show on the Scheduling Calendar, to give you and your client/s a good idea of what these arrangements would look like on a day to day basis.
If your client has filled in the Children and Parenting Arrangements sections in the Questionnaire, you'll notice the child/ren's details are automatically added to the Children & Parenting section of the Dashboard. Otherwise, you can click on Add Child to begin.
Once child/ren are added, click on Arrangements to begin customising parenting arrangements!
Arrangements:
From the Parenting Arrangements window, you'll notice you can make changes to the:
- General schedule
- School holidays
- Christmas holiday periods
And other custom periods, such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, children's birthdays and more.
Changes made to these Arrangements will reflect on the Scheduling Calendar, and will also be used to generate the Parenting Plans and Parenting Orders.
(In the above example, you can see "Mum" and "Dad" are set to have the kids on an alternating weekly cycle, starting with "Mum", with the handover day being Sunday.)
We generally recommend you start by putting in a General schedule, and adding in custom arrangements from there!
