  3. Both parents should remain active and involved in parenting the child(ren).
  4. The main reason for this parenting Plan is to establish custody, parenting time, visitation, and other access arrangements, to determine parenting time to be spent with the Mother and the Father, and to decide how to deal with any future disagreements between the Mother and Father about this Parenting Plan.
  5. The parents should understand that the needs of the child(ren) may change as the child(ren) get(s) older and they should interpret and apply the Parenting Plan in a way that best serves any changing needs of the child(ren).

 HOLIDAY VISITATION: In even numbered years, the non-custodial parent shall have the child(ren) on the following holidays that are numbered with an even number. In odd numbered years the non-custodial parent shall have the child(ren) on the child(ren) on the following holidays that are numbered with an odd number:

1.

  MOTHER’S AND FATHER’S DAY: The child(ren) shall spend Mother’s Day with their mother and Father’s Day with their father.

  GENERAL PROVISIONS:

1.

Time: All weekend and holiday visitation shall begin and end at 6:00 p.m. on the day this order states as the start or end of a visitation period, as the case may be.  Summer visitation and visitation on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day shall start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m.

 

School’s Commencement and End: School shall be deemed to start and end on the day the school attended by the child(ren) starts and ends, but if children do not attend school, the start of end of the public grade school in the community where the children live shall control.

3.

Transportation: Parties who live in different communities shall meet at a public place halfway between their respective communities to exchange the child(ren) at the start and end of all visitations. Parties who live in the same community shall have the non-custodial parent pick up the child(ren) at the start of visitation, and the custodial parent shall pick up the minor child(ren) at the end of visitation. Driving may be done by any responsible adult who is related to the parties by blood or marriage.

4.

Modification: The parties may modify this visitation schedule by mutual agreement in writing as they desire. Oral agreements frequently result in misunderstanding, and are to be avoided.

5.

In the event of conflict, holiday visitation supercedes weekend visitation.

6.

In the event a child is invited or desires to participate in any activity which may interfere with a visit the custodial parent will not encourage, permit, or consent thereto without prior approval of the non-custodial parent.

7.

A custodial parent who is not cohabitating with an unrelated person of the opposite sex may refuse overnight visitation if the non-custodial parent is cohabitating with an unrelated person of the opposite sex.

  TELEPHONE VISITATION: The non-custodial parent may telephone the child(ren) for a period not to exceed 15 minutes per child between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, and at such other times as the parties may agree in writing, and the custodial parent shall not participate in or interfere with such calls.

  WRITTEN CONTACT: The non-custodial parent shall have the right of unlimited correspondence with the child(ren), and the custodial parent shall not censor or interfere with such correspondence.

  1. Being on time. Both parents understand that they have the responsibility to be on time. If either parent will be late for some reason, or will be unable to either visit with the child(ren) on time or provide visitation with the child(ren) on time, such parent shall notify the other parent as soon as possible of the delay. Both parents understand that the fifteen (15) minutes is a reasonable time for a parent to wait in order to pick up or return the child(ren).
  2. The child(ren)’s best interests require the utmost cooperation between the parents. To this end, neither parent shall talk badly or in any way be negative about the other parent in front of the child(ren) or in any activity or communication through the child(ren). Neither parent will ask about the other’s personal affairs through the child(ren). Each parent shall cooperate with the other, to the fullest extent necessary, in order to encourage a safe, secure and loving environment for the child(ren).
  3. The names of both parents shall appear on all school, governmental, law enforcement, medical and health-related records, and both parents shall be provided access to all teachers, governmental officials and doctors.
  4. In the event one or both of the parties wish to change the terms of this Parenting Plan in the future and the parties are unable to agree on the terms of such change, the parties shall mediate their disagreements by talking to a trained mediator who has been approved by the Nebraska Office of Dispute Resolution. If mediation is unsuccessful, a complaint to modify custody or visitation may then be filled in this Court.
