The Co-Parenting Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument under Belgian family law, designed to establish clear guidelines and arrangements between separated or divorced parents regarding the care and upbringing of their children. This document becomes necessary when parents are no longer in a relationship but need to maintain cooperative parenting responsibilities. It addresses key aspects such as residential arrangements, financial obligations, educational decisions, and healthcare matters, all while adhering to Belgian legal requirements and the principle of the best interests of the child. The agreement typically follows the framework established by the Belgian Civil Code and relevant family law reforms, particularly the Law of 18 July 2006 promoting alternating residence arrangements. It provides a structured approach to managing shared parental responsibilities while minimizing potential conflicts and ensuring legal compliance.
