Parenting Plans · Regina & Southern Saskatchewan
From Harbour Landing to the Cathedral neighbourhood, Queen City families come to us for one thing: a written parenting plan that ends the guesswork. Clear custody schedules, decisions that hold, and predictable routines your kids can count on—without turning every handoff into a negotiation.
A parenting plan isn't a form you download. For separating parents in Regina, it's the day-to-day rulebook that keeps two households running smoothly and keeps small disagreements from snowballing.
The problem: "We'll keep it flexible" works until two busy Regina work schedules collide. What changes: a week-by-week schedule both parents read the same way, including how exchanges happen and where.
The problem: School choices, dental work, activities—who has the final say? What changes: written decision-making rules so each parent knows their lane before the question even comes up.
The problem: Every long weekend and Christmas turns into a fresh debate. What changes: holidays and summer mapped out ahead of time, so kids know the plan and parents aren't renegotiating each December.
The problem: Late-night texts, ignored messages, mixed signals. What changes: agreed channels and response times that keep co-parenting businesslike and calm.
The problem: Vague support arrangements breed resentment. What changes: amounts tied to Saskatchewan guideline figures and the actual schedule—nothing left to interpretation.
The problem: A minor dispute escalates because there's no agreed next step. What changes: a written process for working through changes so issues get resolved, not litigated.
We see the same gaps again and again in do-it-yourself arrangements. Each one is avoidable.
An open-ended arrangement feels generous at first. A few months in, each parent remembers it differently, and the friction grows with every exchange. A specific schedule removes the argument before it starts.
Schools, orthodontics, counselling, faith—if you never set who has the final word, every one of these becomes its own standoff. Writing it down once saves dozens of conflicts later.
That phrase sounds reasonable in spring. By the December holidays it becomes a tug-of-war the kids can feel. Mapping the calendar in advance keeps celebrations calm.
No agreed channel or response window means one parent over-messages and the other goes quiet. Misreadings pile up. A simple communication standard prevents most of it.
Eyeballing child support without working from real income numbers invites a dispute down the road—often with a demand for back-payment. Getting the figures right the first time protects everyone.
Every route carries a cost—paid in dollars, in your own hours, or in future conflict.

The Path Forward
A clear walk through the whole journey — what happens at each stage, who handles it, and what it costs — so you always know your next step. Fixed fees, billed one stage at a time. No retainer, no hourly surprises.
A 60-minute consultation, often same-day. We listen, explain your options in plain language, and confirm your fixed fee in writing before any work begins.
After intake we map out everything your parenting plan needs — schedules, decision-making, holidays, communication, and the income details behind child support — in a plain-language roadmap you complete at your own pace.
We advise you, negotiate on your behalf, and draft your Regina parenting plan — custody schedule, decision-making, holidays, communication ground rules, and guideline-based child support — reviewed clause-by-clause together. Finalizing and signing are included.
If you also need to settle property and support or finalise a divorce, we handle those end to end whenever the time comes — no need to start over.

It's strongly worth it. Without one, every schedule change and decision can turn into a fresh negotiation. A written plan gives both Regina parents a shared reference and gives your kids the predictability they need.
We handle the negotiation. We'll explain the practical benefits of a clear plan. If they still won't engage, we'll help you understand your options while staying within our uncontested scope.
Usually 2–4 weeks from consultation to a finalized plan, depending on how quickly both parents review drafts. We keep things moving without rushing the details.
Life shifts—jobs, moves, kids' needs. Your plan includes a built-in process for changes. The first one or two modifications are typically covered within your support period; additional changes after that run $600–$1,200 depending on the change.
We draft your parenting plan clearly and in line with Saskatchewan family law, and review every clause with you. A well-documented plan gives both parents a solid, shared reference to rely on as circumstances change.
Both parties are always encouraged to obtain independent legal advice before signing. We're happy to provide independent legal advice for one party; the other parent should obtain their own advice from another family law professional. That keeps the process fair and balanced.
Yes—phone, video, and email. You can be anywhere in Regina or southern Saskatchewan. No need to travel to an office.
30–90 days of follow-up, depending on your package—questions about putting the plan into practice, small clarifications, minor adjustments. After that window, additional help is available at hourly rates.
A clear parenting plan is the foundation your family builds on. Start with a calm, licensed consultation—we'll explain your options, confirm the fixed fee, and outline the next steps.
