VISITATION/TIMESHARING SCHEDULE
In addition to the Model Time-Sharing / Visitation Guidelines referred to in FCRPP 8, the parties may utilize the following time-sharing / visitation schedule in the 52nd Judicial Circuit adopted at the request of the Grave County Bar Association. This schedule is not to be used as a default schedule when the parties are unable to agree but, rather, should be used as a basis for determining a schedule that meets the needs of the family. This minimum schedule for time-sharing / visitation may apply both as a temporary order and/or a final visitation order and as otherwise ordered by this Court:
- Alternate weekends from Friday at 6:00 p.m. until Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
- Wednesdays or Thursdays (at the discretion of the non-residential parent) of the week there is no weekend visitation from the time school is out until the following morning. The alternate night will be the same each week.
- Spring Break in even numbered years (regardless of length).
- Summer Break will be as follows: The non-residential parent shall have visitation from June 1st through June 30th of each year, with the residential parent to then have alternate weekend and alternate mid-week visitation. The parties shall divide July equally, with one parent to have from July 1st through July 15th and the other from July 16th through the 31st. These weeks will be alternated annually. This summer schedule only applies where alternate weekend visitation is applicable and both parents are willing and able to keep all scheduled activities for the child(ren) while in their respective care.
- Fall Break in odd number years (regardless of length).
- Thanksgiving Day on even-numbered years. If it falls on the Thursday before the non-residential parent's scheduled weekend visitation, then visitation shall continue through 6:00 p.m. Sunday.
- Christmas Break shall be divided as follows: The residential parent shall have visitation in odd-numbered years from the time school is out until 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Day and the non-residential parent shall have the child from 1:00 p.m. Christmas Day until 6:00 p.m. on New Years' Day. In even-numbered years the non-residential parent shall have visitation from 5:00 p.m. on the day school is out until 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Day.
- The mother shall have visitation on each Mother's Day. and the father shall have visitation on each Fathers Day. Visitation shall be from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.
The following General Rules shall apply to all visitation:
1. In the event that the non-residential/visiting parent is 30 minutes late for any period of visitation, the visitation is forfeited.
2. The custodial/residential parent has the right to refuse visitation if the other parent is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicants.
3. Both parents must secure the child in an approved child restraint system while transporting the child.
4. Despite the specifics of the standard order of visitation, the custodial/residential parent is encouraged to permit additional visitation with the other parent and is directed to accommodate and encourage such visitation.
5. The above-referenced school schedules (spring, fall break, holidays) shall also apply to children not yet of school age.
6. Both parties shall have reasonable and open contact with the children by telephone, except in those cases where a Domestic Violence Order prohibits such contact.
7. Each parent should provide to the other parent contact numbers and addresses (unless a Domestic Violence Order is in effect) where the child(ren) can be located during their scheduled time-sharing visitation time.
8. The Time-Sharing/Visitation Schedule set by the Court for holidays, school breaks, and summer break should control over regularly scheduled time-sharing/visitation time even if this allows successive time-sharing/visitation periods.
9. If a child is ill, the parent who has the child should give 24 hour notice, if possible, to allow for appropriate plans to be made.
When a joint custodian seeks to relocate he or she shall comply with the requirements of FCRPP7(2)(a). When a sole custodian seeks to relocate he or she shall comply with the requirements of FCRPP 7(2)(b)
