A Washington Background Check (Permanent Parenting Plan) is a legal document created by a court to determine the rights and responsibilities of each parent in a child custody or visitation matter. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of each parent in regard to the physical care and emotional support of the child, as well as any other rights or responsibilities that may be specified by the court. The plan is permanent and will remain in place until the child reaches the age of majority. The Washington Background Check (Permanent Parenting Plan) can include a variety of items, including but not limited to: child custody and visitation schedule, decision-making authority, and dispute resolution methods. In addition, the plan can also address other matters such as health care decisions, education decisions, and religious upbringing. The Washington Background Check (Permanent Parenting Plan) is typically created by the court after a hearing is held, though some courts may allow parents to create their own plan. If the parents can agree on a plan, the court must approve it. If the parents cannot agree, the court will create a plan for them. Types of Washington Background Check (Permanent Parenting Plan) include: Joint Custody Plan, Sole Custody Plan, Split Custody Plan, Visitation Plan, Shared Parenting Plan, and Grandparents Rights Plan.
