The Co-Parenting Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in the Netherlands for parents who are separated or divorced but wish to maintain joint responsibility for their children's upbringing. This document is particularly relevant when parents need to formalize their arrangements regarding childcare, decision-making, and financial responsibilities. It is designed to comply with Dutch family law, specifically Book 1 of the Dutch Civil Code, while also adhering to EU regulations and international children's rights conventions. The agreement typically includes comprehensive provisions for daily care schedules, holiday arrangements, education decisions, healthcare management, and financial obligations. It's especially important for establishing clear guidelines and preventing future disputes, making it a valuable tool for maintaining stability in the children's lives post-separation.
