Specifics on establishing a parenting plan in Washington state?

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008
Blowininthewind asked:


My 16 year old has never had a parenting plan as we were divorced before he was born. The child support office said I will have to establish a parenting plan to address his post high school support issues. He has plans to attend college and will graduate from HS in 2011. Does anyone know if I have to hire a lawyer for this, as I don’t have much money. Anyone have any information on this?

Why are people required to take parenting classes before they become a foster parent, but not a blood parent?

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
Healthy Person asked:


Why is it that the law requires people to take parenting classes before they become a foster parent, but..
When a couple is expecting a biological child, the law doesn’t require them to take any classes.

That sounds one-sided to me; shouldn’t all soon-to-be-parents be held to the same standards?
Why are temporary parents required to do stuff that permanent parents dont have to do?
I would think that permanent parents should have higher standards.
Why do the temporary parents have higher standards?

Can living with my girlfriend effect the outcome of my motion to change parenting time?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008
real asked:


I am currently living with my fiance. I’m wanting to enter a motion to change parenting time. Will living with another woman w/out being married effect the outcome? My child’s mother obviously doesn’t like her, but there have been no major problems or fist-fights between the two of them. Further more the interaction they have infront of my child is always civil and cordial.
