The Shared Parenting Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Belgium when parents who are separated or divorced need to formalize their arrangements for co-parenting their children. This document is particularly important in the Belgian legal context, where joint parental authority is the standard approach following separation. The agreement must comply with the Belgian Civil Code, specifically Articles 371-387ter, and the Law of 18 July 2006 promoting equal shared custody. It typically includes comprehensive provisions for residential arrangements, decision-making processes, financial responsibilities, and practical parenting matters. The document serves as both a legal framework and a practical guide for daily co-parenting, ensuring the best interests of the child are maintained while providing clear guidelines for parents to follow.
