DECISION MAKING
IN WASHINGTON PARENTING PLANS
Parents have the
responsibility to make decisions and perform other parental functions
necessary for the care and growth of their minor children. A Parenting
Plan contains a provision for decision making authority. The Parenting
Plan allocates decision making authority solely to one parent or jointly
to both parties regarding the child's education, health care, religious
upbringing, and other major decisions. The parties may incorporate an
agreement related to the care and growth of the child in these specified
areas, or in other areas, into their Parenting Plan. Regardless of the
allocation of decision-making in the Parenting Plan, either parent may
make emergency decisions affecting the health or safety of the child.
Each parent may make decisions regarding the day-to-day care and control
of the child while the child is residing with that parent.
When mutual
decision making is designated but cannot be achieved, the parties shall
make a good-faith effort to resolve the issue through the dispute
resolution process, as provided for in the Parenting Plan. If this does
not resolve the issue, then the parties may bring a motion in court to
resolve the dispute.
