10. The NCP shall notify the CP within 48 hours if they intend to NOT exercise their timeshare schedule. Unless notified the CP shall presume the NCP will exercise visitation in a timely manner.
11. The NCP shall pick up the child at the beginning of the timeshare and the CP shall pick up the child at the end of the timeshare if the parties live in the same county, unless they agree otherwise.
12. The child support obligation shall not abate during any timeshare period.
13. The residence of the child shall not be removed from the Commonwealth of Kentucky without first obtaining a modified timeshare order from the court.
The parties may alter or amend this visitation schedule my mutual agreement. Only mutual written agreements filed in the record may be enforced by this Court. Unless agreed to by the parties, or otherwise ordered by the Court, this timeshare schedule shall be followed.
28th Judicial Circuit Parenting Behavior Guidelines
1. It is crucial that each parent avoid using words or conduct that will interfere with the love and affection of the child for the other parent or siblings.
2. Do not have the child deliver money or messages from one parent to the other and thus placing the child in the middle.
3. Never ask the child to keep a secret from the other parent or siblings as this creates stress for the child and undermines the child's relationship between the parents and other family members, which may cause loyalty and emotional issues for the child.
4. Avoid questioning the child about events and activities at the other parent's home.
5. Never say unkind or disrespectful things about the other parent or siblings to the child or in the presence of the child.
6. Avoid conducting parental business at timeshare exchanges. Attempt to do so by phone or at scheduled times consistent with any applicable court orders.
7. Never make any threats or start arguments with the other parent when exchanging the child for visitation.
8. Always avoid placing the child in the position of having to “choose” by asking a child directly or subtly, “Which of us do you really want to be with”? This eventually undermines the child's relationship with both parents.
9. By agreement of the parents occasionally alter or change visitation if the child asks to do so.
10. Never require or encourage the child to refer to a paramour or stepparent as their parent. Doing so can be confusing and stressful for the child and contribute to anger and resentment.
11. Never eavesdrop, interfere, or interrupt the child's conversations with the other parent.
If either parent has reasonable grounds to believe these guidelines are being ignored or violated they may motion the Court for an order to show cause. Please be advised that if the Court determines a parent is attempting to undermine, interfere, or destroy the child's respect, affection or confidence in the other parent their visitation may be hindered. Willful or patterned disregard to these guidelines may affect or limit a parent's right to visitation and or custody.
