ChatGPT for Family Lawyers™ — Module 8: Parenting Plans and Timesharing Drafting with AI Parenting plans shape the daily lives of families and are among the most frequently litigated documents in family law. Ambiguity in schedules, emotional language, and poorly structured provisions often lead to post-judgment conflict. Module 8 of ChatGPT for Family Lawyers™ focuses on how AI tools can assist with drafting clearer, more consistent, and more child-focused parenting plans while preserving attorney judgment and statutory compliance. This module teaches how AI can be used as a drafting and editing assistant to improve structure and precision, not to determine best interests or custody outcomes. Participants learn how to generate organized parenting plan frameworks and refine timesharing provisions so they are specific, enforceable, and easier for families to follow. Through live demonstrations using hypothetical Florida family law scenarios, the course shows how AI can assist with: • Drafting structured parenting plan frameworks with required sections • Clarifying weekday, weekend, and holiday exchange provisions • Editing emotionally charged language into neutral, child-focused terms Each demonstration emphasizes that AI output must be customized to the family’s circumstances and reviewed for statutory compliance and practical logistics such as school schedules, transportation, and work commitments. Ethical guardrails are reinforced throughout the module. Best-interest determinations remain the responsibility of the court and counsel, confidential child information must never be uploaded, and attorneys remain fully responsible for all drafting decisions. This module is ideal for family law attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants who draft parenting plans, prepare settlement agreements, or handle post-judgment modifications and want to reduce ambiguity and future conflict through clearer drafting.
