What does it cost to run my household as a single mom?
What belongs in the parenting plan?

This collection turns a tangle of appointments, records, parenting arrangements, and unanswered questions into specific things to gather, consider, and discuss. Use it before a meeting, beside a proposed agreement, or whenever you need to see what still needs attention.
HERE’S EXACTLY WHAT’S INCLUDED
Six resources. One place to start.
228 checkbox items across seven bookmarked sections. Linked contents help you return to the question in front of you.

This is the detailed preparation checklist for the actual parenting plan you’ll sign. It is separate from the shorter Parenting, For Now journal checklist. Both are included.
Work through one topic at a time with your legal team. It is a preparation resource, not a ready-to-sign parenting agreement.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Before you buy.
Is this for me if I’m only considering divorce?
Yes. You can use the checklists to gather information and prepare questions before deciding what comes next. Work through the parts that apply to you.
I already have an attorney. Can I still use this?
Yes. Bring the checklists to consultations or follow-up meetings, organize the questions you want covered, and use them alongside proposed parenting arrangements. They are preparation resources to use with your professional team.
Are the two parenting resources the same?
No. Parenting, For Now is the shorter journal checklist for working arrangements while you craft your plan. The Parenting Plan, Thought Through is a separate, 17-page companion with 91 checklist items to work through before signing. Both are included in full.
Is the full Single Mom School journal included?
No. This is the checklist collection: six journal checklist sections plus the separate comprehensive parenting-plan companion, assembled into one 37-page PDF. The full journal is sold separately.
Why six resources and seven sections?
The family-court and first-attorney-visit sections are combined into one resource, Your Lawyer, Your Case & You: The Extended Checklist. The collection has six resources across seven bookmarked sections.
Should I buy individual checklists too?
Everything in the individual checklist shop is included in the collection. Buy the collection or the individual resources you need; you do not need both.
How do I get it?
The purchase button takes you to Shopify to complete your purchase. Digital delivery is handled through Shopify. You receive a printable PDF, not a physical book or a video course.
