A parenting plan is an agreement between you and your partner in regard to the custody of your children. The parenting plan can include things such as how medical costs should be split, who makes decisions regarding medical issues, school, and the like. Anyone who has children should have a parenting plan in place. If the two parties cannot agree on a reasonable parenting plan, the court will create one for the parties.
An annulment of a marriage is the ending of a marriage that was not valid from the start. Often, this means that one of the parties married under false pretenses such as they were told their partner wanted to have children but once they were married, the partner stated they never wanted children. Annulments are different than divorces and should be discussed with a professional divorce attorney in Brooklyn.
