It can also be a great tool for uncovering issues that the coparents have not even thought about!  \nModamily strongly believes that you should not simply adopt a co-parenting agreement that you may find online or receive from a friend – it is essential that the co-parents talk through the many potential issues on their own and come up with their own unique, customized coparenting agreement. Nevertheless, a template for some of the items you may wish to discuss and include in your agreement can be a very helpful starting point.  \nWith this in mind, the following Co-Parenting Agreement Template to help you get started. While we don’t provide the actual language for each of the sections to be covered, we raise the main issues that you and your co-parent(s) should consider as you draft this agreement foryour personal situation. Some of these issues may not apply to your particular situation and should not be included; conversely, you may have other unique issues not listed here that you may wish to include in your Co-Parenting Agreement. We are providing this template for informational purposes only and it is not to be construed as advice for your particular circumstances.  \nWe hope you find this Co-Parenting Agreement Template useful!  \nCO-PARENTING AGREEMENT  \nBasic Information including party names and date of Agreement. You may wish to consider language along the lines of: “This Co-Parenting Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this   day of [Month],[Year], by and between [Party 1 Name] and [Party 2 Name][followed by additional names if applicable], hereafter referred to as the \"Parties\".”  \nHistory of the co-parents. Use this paragraph to describe the relationship between the coparents. How long have you known each other? How would you describe your personal relationship with each other? When are you expecting children (or have you already had children)?  \nIntroductory clause to the substance of this agreement. Consider something such as: “NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises of each of the Parties, and in acknowledgement of their mutual belief that the best interests of the child require stable sources of financial, academic, medical and emotional support, the parties enter into this Agreement to guarantee that their child will receive that benefit of having each of them in their life, and agree as follows:”  \nA. STATEMENT OF CO-PARENTING INTENTIONS  \nUse this section to describe what the co-parenting intentions are for you and your coparent(s), and why you’re entering into this agreement. What do you want to make clear – not only to each other, but to any future party that reviews this agreement? Items to include in your statement of intentions could include (but are not limited to):  \n• Your intent for each of the co-parents in regards to their rights to the child. If you intend for each of the parents to have equal rights in regards to the child’s upbringing, make that clear. If you intend for one of the parents to be the predominant parent in the relationship with greater decision-making rights, make that clear as well.  \n• Your intent for each of the co-parents in regards to their obligations to the child. If your intent is for each of the parents to have equal obligations, so state. If the obligations will fall more on one parent than the other, make that clear.  \n• Legal parentage. Use this section to discuss your intent as to which parties shall be the legal parent(s) of the child. This should reflect upon your intent in regards to rights and responsibilities of the biological parents (if any) . If there are more than two co-parents, do you  \nwish for each of them to be equally recognized as parents (i.e. , if your state recognizes additional legal parents, or does so in the future)?  \n• Use this section to","cbCaib8Y24FEhZGx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib8Y24FEhZGx","pdf",47258,6,"English","# CO-PARENTING AGREEMENT\n## Basic Information\n## History of the Co-parents\n## Introductory Clause\n## A.
