Spring Clean Your Legal Life: 3 Documents to Revisit This Season

1. Parenting Plans

If you share custody of your child or children, now is a great time to revisit your parenting plan.

  • Are the holiday schedules still working for both parties?

  • Do communication methods need adjusting?

  • Has your child’s schedule (school, activities, travel) changed?

Even minor updates can reduce future conflict and ensure everyone is on the same page.

2. Mediation Agreements

Mediation is a collaborative process — but life changes. It's smart to review what you’ve agreed upon, especially if it involves:

  • Shared responsibilities

  • Financial arrangements

  • Property division

An outdated agreement can lead to misunderstandings. Spring is the perfect reminder to make sure everything is still aligned with your current circumstances.

3. Wills and Estate Plans

Major life changes — like a divorce, remarriage, or new children — may mean your estate documents need updating.

  • Do your beneficiaries still reflect your wishes?

  • Is your power of attorney still someone you trust?

  • Have you updated your digital assets and account access?

A quick review now can provide peace of mind for years to come.
