“For parents undergoing separation or divorce, the complex and often overwhelming task of developing a developmentally-sensitive parenting plan for your children just got easier with the publication of Dr. Benjamin Garber’s excellent title, The Roadmap for the Parenting Plan Worksheet. This highly practical volume will not only assist parents to craft child-centered parenting plans grounded in the latest research, theory, and case law in the family law arena, but will also serve as a foundational curriculum and structure for family law attorneys, child custody mediators, and parenting coordinators in their efforts to assist families undergoing the transition to separation or divorce.


This book presents highly structured and flexible options for deciding upon such issues as parenting time and the division of decision-making authority, holidays and travel considerations with children, safety precautions, and issues for special needs children. This in-depth, highly readable, pragmatic, and evidenced-based guide, along with the Parenting Plan Worksheet, is a most welcome and invaluable resource for parents and family law professionals.”
