Appendix B Visitation schedule
This schedule contains suggested guidelines for the parents and the Court in establishing timesharing/visitation schedules. Each case will present unique facts or circumstances which shall be considered by the Court in establishing a time-sharing/visitation schedule and the final schedule established by the court or agreed to by the parents may or may not be what these guidelines suggest.
(1) Every other weekend from 6:00 p.m. on Friday until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
(2) One evening every other Tuesday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. the next morning, following the weekend that the non-residential parent does not have weekend visitation. The child shall be returned to the other parent at the usual exchange location or taken directly to school, if school is in session.
(3) Summer: Four weeks, not to run consecutively.
(4) Child's Birthday: One-half of the day with each parent, but if on a school day, the parents will share the remainder of the day until 8:00 p.m.
(5) Christmas: The non-residential parent shall have visitation beginning at 6:00 p.m. on the day school ends until 12:00 noon on December 25th every even numbered year, and from 12:00 noon on December 25th until 6:00 p.m. the day before school begins after the holidays every odd numbered year. The opposite will apply for the residential parent. This has priority over any other visitation schedule.
(6) Thanksgivings: The non-residential parent shall have visitation beginning at 6:00 p.m. the day school gets out until 2:00 p.m. Thanksgiving Day every even numbered year and from 2:00 p.m. Thanksgiving Day until 6:00 p.m. the day before school begins after the holiday every odd numbered year. The opposite will apply for the residential parent. This has priority over any other visitation schedule.
(7) Memorial Day and Labor Day: Whichever parent has the child in their possession for the weekend shall keep the child for that holiday on Monday. If the non-residential parent has the child, the child shall be returned to the other parent at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
(8) Spring and Fall Break: The non-residential parent shall have the child during spring and fall breaks every odd year from 6:00 p.m. the day school ends for the break until 6:00 p.m. the day before school begins after the break. The residential parent shall have the child during the entire spring and fall breaks every even year with priority over any other visitation schedule.
(9) Mother's Day and Father's Day: The child will spend Mother's Day with the mother and Father's Day with the father each year from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. with priority over any other visitation schedule.
(10) Mother's birthday and Father's birthday: The child will spend each parent's birthday with that parent. This has priority over any other visitation schedule. If the parent's birthday falls on a school day, visitation shall occur from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the parent having the birthday. On the non-residential parent's birthday, the child shall be returned to the residential parent by 8:00 p.m., if this not a normal visitation weekend or weekday.
(11) Phone calls: The non-residential parent can call the child on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. and on Fridays at 6:00 p.m. when he/she does not have visitation with the child. The residential parent can call the minor child on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. when the child has visitation with the non-residential parent. The child can call either parent at anytime he or she is with the other parent without interference from the parents.
(12) The parent receiving visitation privileges shall notify the other parent of their intent to not exercise visitation 48 hours in advance of any visitation. Unless notified, the residential parent shall presume the non-residential parent will exercise visitation in a timely manner.
(13) Child support shall not abate during any visitation period.
(14) Regarding relocation of the child's residence:
A. Pursuant to FCRPP 7(2) on relocation, before a joint custodian seeks to relocate, written notice shall be filed with the court and notice shall be served on the non-relocating joint custodian. Either party may file a motion for change of custody or timesharing within 20 days of service of the notice if the custodians are not in agreement; or, the parties shall file an agreed order if the time sharing arrangement is modified by the agreement.
B. Before a sole custodian seeks to relocate, written notice shall be filed with the court and notice shall be served on the non-custodial parent. If the court ordered visitation is affected by the relocation, the non-custodial parent may file a motion contesting the change in visitation within 20 days of service of the notice.
(15) The parties may alter or amend this visitation schedule by mutual agreement. Unless agreed to by the parties or otherwise ordered by the Court, this visitation schedule shall be followed by both parents.
