RULE 27. MODEL VISITATION SCHEDULE

Visitation is a time for children to do things with the parent with whom they do not live. Activities you can do with them

or skills you can teach them help the time be rewarding. Helping the children find friends in your neighborhood also helps make

it like home for them.

Liberal visitation arrangements are encouraged, as contact with both parents is important to the children. Specific items in

the Journal Entry take precedence over this schedule. Changes or modification can be made by the Court if need for such is

shown. This schedule does not affect support payments.

Please be advised that this schedule is merely a guideline for visitation. It is each party's responsibility to tailor this

3. Extracurricular Activities: Regardless of where the children are living, their participation in existing and renewed

extracurricular activities, school related or otherwise, shall continue uninterrupted. The parent with whom they are residing

at the time of the activity shall provide the physical and economic cost of transportation to these activities. The residential

parent shall provide the non-residential parent with notice of all extracurricular activities, school related or otherwise, in

which the children participate, schedules of all extracurricular activities (handwritten by the residential parent if no formal

schedule is provided by the activity) and the name of the activity leader (including address and telephone number of

reasonably available to the residential parent).

4. Pre-School Ages: Pre-school age children follow the same schedule of school age children in the school district where

they live regardless of whether or not other school age children line in the family.

5. Holidays (includes birthdays): In odd-numbered years, mother has Spring Break, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the first

the holiday. The weekend rotation would recommence the weekend after the holiday as father's weekend after the

holiday as father's weekend. This occurs even though one parent may have the children two weekends in a row.

For any holiday falling on a Monday or Friday, if the weekend immediately preceding or following the holiday

visitation are spent with the same parent, there is no need for that parent to return the children that evening and

then pick them up the next morning. For a holiday, falling on a Friday visitation commences Friday a.m. and

continues to Sunday evening: or for a holiday falling on a Monday, visitation commences Friday evening and

continues to Monday evening.

b. Mother's Day and Father's Day and, the parent's birthdays only when they fall on a Saturday or Sunday, are to be

spent with the appropriate parent. These are as agreed or 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. These do not have to be made up.

Sunday): Winter Break (first half commences at 6:00 the last day of school before Winter Break begins, until

December 25 at 1:00 p.m. second half commences at 1:00 December 25 until 6:00 p.m. the day before school

recommences).
