No.  And they shouldn’t be.
The Attorneys at Schwartz & Plante believe strongly that every custody arrangement and parenting plan needs to be individually tailored to address a families’ particular needs.  We pride ourselves on working with our clients to understand their particularized needs, and the needs of their children so we can create a meaningful plan that works for our client and their family.
It is certainly true that Massachusetts courts have evolved over recent years to increase their willingness to consider sharing physical custody with equal or substantially equal parenting time between parties to a divorce.  Even with this evolution, Massachusetts courts still seek to implement parenting plans that work for each individual family.
The Attorneys at Schwartz & Plante recognize that no one custody arrangement or parenting plan is suitable for every family.  Our Attorneys will work with you to understand your needs, and the needs of your children, to draft a custom parenting plan that works for your family.
