Hi All
With the new Family Justice Reforms the focus is on reaching agreements outside of the courtroom, using tools such as mediation and parenting plans.
Here are some links to the new and improved parenting plan put together by CAFCASS, even if you are unable to agree the plan together, at least it will give you a better idea of what to negotiate when using mediation.

The following link isn't by CAFCASS but I think it's a particularly good guide with lots of tips!
