A safety-based parenting plan is not a common one, as usually, it requires a specific situation where a child’s safety may be at risk if they spend time with one parent but maintaining that parent-child bond is still valuable.

Details that Go into a Safety-Based Parenting Plan
In order for this type of child custody plan to be deemed appropriate, it must first be established that there has been a history of alcoholism, child abuse, criminal activity, drug use, or domestic violence on the part of the parent who is deemed a risk. This is where a social investigator may be invaluable in assessing the fitness of each parent. When a parent is considered a threat to their child’s well-being, a court may agree that the child should not be left alone with that parent, and the court would mandate that a third-party has to supervise that parent’s portion of the time-sharing arrangement.

What Does A Safety-Based Parenting Plan Enforce?
Depending on how much caution is required, a safety-based parenting plan may enforce temporary or permanent safeguards on the dangerous parent, such as:
- Supervised visits only
- Visits (supervised or otherwise) only at a specific site
- Restrictions on who else is allowed near the child
- Twenty-four hours of sobriety before a visit
- Removal of firearms from the premises
- In the case of unsupervised visitation, no overnights
In extreme cases, a safety-focused plan may prohibit the dangerous parent from seeing the child at all. Whatever the case may be for your family, what your child needs to remain safe and cared for by their parent(s) will need to be codified in well-crafted legal agreement. While all child custody cases are emotionally charged, this type of case brings on a whole other array of challenges, and there will only be more complications if a relocation is also involved. Our empathetic attorney is ready to provide the skilled, one-on-one service you need for every step of this legal process.
