Parenting Rights After Divorce: What You Need to Know

Questioner

My ex-partner and I are separated and both have parental authority. What are we allowed to decide without each other? And is there still a duty to report to each other? Because I get the strong feeling that she is trying to keep me out of everything and wants to arrange everything herself.

Lawyer

Dear, With parental authority, all important decisions regarding the children should actually be taken jointly. For example, medical decisions, moving of the children, change of school, etc. In addition, she is certainly obliged to keep you informed about all important developments regarding the children. There is no parenting plan drawn up? You do have contact with the children?
