CIRCUIT COURT
VISITATION RULES AND REQUIREMENTS
1. Non-custodial parent shall exercise visitation with the child or children on alternate weekends from Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m., to Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m., and on Thursday evenings following the weekend visit from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
2. The children, and/or the custodial parent, have no duty to await the visiting parent for more than thirty (30) minutes of the visitation time. A parent more than thirty (30) minutes late shall forfeit that visitation period. The custodial parent has the right to refuse visitation if the non-custodial parent is under the influence of intoxicants or drugs.
3. For the purpose of visitation the following six holidays shall be divided between the parents:
(1) New Years Day
(2) Martin Luther King Day
(3) Easter
(4) Memorial Day
(5) July 4th
(6) Labor Day
In the odd-numbered years (i.e. 1999), the mother shall have the children on the odd-numbered holidays (left column), and the father shall have visitation on the even-numbered holidays (right column). In the even-numbered years (i.e. 1998), the father shall have the odd-numbered holidays and the mother the even-numbered holidays. Visitation shall be from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., unless the child is in school that day in which case visitation shall be from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
4. Each year at Christmas the custodial parent shall have the children on Christmas Day and the non-custodial parent shall have the children from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., on Christmas Eve. The non-custodial parent also shall have the children from December 26th through December 31st, provided the children are returned to the custodial parent not less than twenty-four hours before they are to resume school.
5. On Mother's Day and Father's Day, no matter whose turn for visitation, the children shall be with the appropriate parent on those days. Visitation shall be from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
6. A four-week visitation each summer for children four years or older provided there shall be no continuous visitation of longer than two weeks at a time. For children age two to four years the non-custodial parent shall have two weeks visitation. For children between the ages of one and two there shall be one week of visitation. For a child under the age of one the non-custodial parent may have visitation for three days. Each party shall give the other party at least sixty days notice of his or her vacation schedule so that both parties have an opportunity to have the children during his or her vacation from work.
7. A child shall celebrate his or her birthday in the home of the custodial parent, unless it falls on a visitation day. In the event the non-custodial parent does not have the child on his or her birthday, an additional, non-scheduled, visitation day shall be granted so that the non-custodial parent may give the child a birthday, if desired.
8. In alternating years, the non-custodial parent shall have the children for up to a week of any spring break vacation from school which the children may have, provided the children are returned to the custodial parent not less than 24 hours before they are to resume school. Unless otherwise agreed, the first spring break vacation with the non-custodial parent shall be in the calendar year after the one in which the decree is granted. Should Easter fall during a spring break when the child is with the custodial parent and it is the non-custodial parent's turn to have visitation with the child for Easter vacation, then an additional, non-scheduled, visitation day shall be granted to the non-custodial parent. If there is a fall break vacation from school, the parent not having the child or children for the preceding spring break, shall have the child or children for said fall break.
9. In the years that the non-custodial parent does not have the children for spring break, the non-custodial parent may have the children for the four day Thanksgiving holiday. Visitation shall begin at 9:00 a.m. Thursday and end at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. In the event that a child is not yet enrolled in school, the non-custodial parent shall have visitation with the child on alternating Thanksgiving holidays.
10. The non-custodial parent is required to secure each child in a child restraint system when transporting children, as provided in KRS 189.125(2).
11. The residence of the children is not to be removed from the State of Kentucky without first obtaining a modified visitation order from the Court.
