Hi, welcome to MediatorPodcast.com, a podcast and video series about mediation, negotiation and collaboration. My name is Melissa Gragg, and I'm valuation expert and mediator in St. Louis, Missouri. I actually specialize in divorce and partner disputes, but today we'll discuss divorce, mediation and parenting plans or child custody with Michelle Weinberg. 

Michelle's a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience, but now focuses her practice specifically and solely on divorce mediation in New Jersey. In 2011, she co-founded Westfield Mediation with an attorney Randi Albert, and she's also a member of the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators and volunteers at several organizations in her spare time. 

1. What is a parenting plan?
2. How is a parenting plan used in divorce?
3. What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody in a divorce?
4. What is 50/50 custody, shared custody, and joint custody - what is the difference between them?
5. What are the logistics to a parenting plan?
6. How to deal with power dynamics and cooperation when creating a parenting plan.
7. What are the top 3 polarizing issues you see debated in the parenting plan process?
