Parenting Plan Assessments
A structured, neutral process to support child-focused parenting decisions
Parenting Plan Assessments provide a thoughtful and impartial process to help families better understand what arrangements may best support their child’s well-being.
At Safe Harbor Support, assessments are conducted with care, neutrality, and a focus on the unique needs of each family.
What Is A Parenting Plan Assessment?
A Parenting Plan Assessment is a structured and neutral process used to gather information about family dynamics, parenting strengths, and the needs of the child. The goal is to provide clear, balanced recommendations that support the best interests of the child.
This process may be helpful during separation or divorce, when there are disagreements about parenting arrangements, or when families are seeking clarity and direction moving forward.
Assessments are available on a private basis, with the ability to support court-involved matters as needed.

What to Expect?
Each assessment is tailored to the needs of the family, but typically includes:
-
An initial consultation to determine fit and scope
-
Individual meetings with parents (and children where appropriate)
-
Review of relevant documents and background information
-
Collateral input from other professionals involved
-
A written report with observations and recommendations
Parenting Plan Assessments are not therapy, but a neutral and structured process that may support decision-making and next steps.
