--Visitation Schedule A--
TIME SHARING GUIDELINES
Visitation is a time for children to do things with the parent they do not live with. Activities you can do with them or skills you can teach them help the time be rewarding. Helping children find friends in your neighborhood also helps make it like home for them.
Liberal visiting arrangements are encouraged by the Greenup Circuit Court, as contact with both parents is important to the children. You may also agree, and are encouraged to agree to any additional visitation for your convenience, or that is beneficial to your child. Changes or modifications can be made by the Court if need for such is shown.
VISITATION SHALL BE AT SUCH TlMES AND PLACES AS THE PARTIES MAY AGREE.
This will not normally be less than:
1. Weekends - Alternate weekends from Friday at 5:30 pm until Sunday at 6:00 pm for all children twelve (12) months of age or older. If the child is less than twelve (12) months of age, weekend visitation shall be from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
2. Midweek - One evening each week, from Wednesday at 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
3. Holidays - In the odd-numbered years, the custodial parent has Easter and Christmas Day: and the non-custodial parent has July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve. In the even-numbered years, the schedules are reversed. Memorial Day and Labor Day attach to the preceding weekend.
a. A holiday that falls on a weekend should be spent with the parent who would normally have the child for that holiday. The rest of the weekend is to be spent with the parent who would normally have the child for that weekend. These do not have to be made up.
b. Mother's Day and Father's Day are to be spent with the appropriate parent. Hours are as agreed, or from 10:00 am until 7:00 pm.
c. Other Days of special meaning, such as religious holidays, or national holidays, should be decided together, written into the Court order, and alternated as above.
d. Hours for parents who cannot agree are as follows:
i. Easter - 10:00 am to 7:30 pm
ii. July 4th - 9:00 am until 9:00 am the next day
iii. Thanksgiving - 9:00 am until 9:00 am the next day
iv. Christmas Eve - 9:00 pm on December 23rd to 9:00 pm December 24th
v. Christmas Day - 9:00 pm on December 24th to 9:00 pm on December 25th
4. Birthdays - One-half day with each parent, even if it falls on a regular visitation day.
5. Waiting - The children and custodial parent have no duty to await the visiting parent for more than 30 minutes of the visitation time. A parent who is late forfeits visitation for that period. The custodial parent, or acceptable representative, must be home at the return time to receive the child.
6. Cancellations - If a child is ill, the custodial parent should have 24-hour notice, if possible, so appropriate plans can be made. The non-custodial parent should give 24-hour notice to cancel. The time cancelled by the non-custodial parent is forfeited. Time lost for the child's illness should be made up.
7. Vacations - Four weeks of visitation each year are to he arranged with advance notice by the non-custodial parent by May 1st. The custodial parent must give the non-custodial parent notice of vacations, or special plans for the child, to avoid planning conflicts, by May 15th.
a. Summer school necessary for the child to pass to the next grade must be attended.
b. A general itinerary should be provided for the parent, if vacation will be out of town.
This schedule is an enforceable Order of the Court. Please put the interests of your child first, and comply with the above provisions.
