Parenting Plans are an order of the court, and as such, many parents feel like they must be followed to the letter, or they risk some form of legal consequence. While following court orders to the letter is a good instinct, it’s important that you read the entire order before determining what it requires of you.

Where am I going to live during and after the divorce?
Does each parent have to pay for half of extracurricular activities?
Extracurricular activities can be fairly minimal, or can be thousands of dollars per year, per child - especially if the word "travel" is involved. Because the costs are usually on the low end for younger children, parents often don't consider the costs at the time of separation, but only when they've reached their full, teenage levels.
Where will my case be?
There are two issues surrounding where a case will be filed - jurisdiction and venue. There is a course in law school dedicated almost entirely to these issues (civil procedure), so unfortunately I can't give a comprehensive answer to the question that suits every situation. The general rule is that cases must be filed in the state and county where the person you're filing against lives, but divorce and family law have more exceptions to that rule than probably any other area of law.
