Duplessis Law
Vancouver Child Custody & Parenting Agreement Lawyer
Support for Custody, Access, and Parenting Arrangements
When a marriage or partnership ends, concerns about child custody, parenting time, and parental responsibilities often become overwhelming. At Duplessis Family Law, we support Vancouver families through these challenging transitions with clarity and care.
Creating Parenting Plans That Work
A clear and thoughtful Parenting Plan can significantly ease the transition for both parents and children. These agreements address:
- Parental responsibilities and duties
- Parenting schedules and pick-up/drop-off times
- Financial contributions and shared expenses
- Grandparent and extended family access
- Participation in cultural, artistic, or athletic activities
While not legally required, parenting plans help prevent misunderstandings and are a practical tool for successful co-parenting.
We regularly assist clients with:
- Parenting agreements and child access terms
- Guardianship and custody determinations
- Parenting coordination and dispute resolution
- Drafting enforceable parenting plans
Our goal is to reduce conflict and ensure your rights and your child’s best interests are protected at every step.
