When marriages with children end visitation can become a
real issue. Vacations and holidays can lead to one or both parents feeling they
are not getting their fair share of “face-time” when it comes to the children
and this can be even more added stress.
Setting solid and well thought out rules, guidelines and
even exceptions well in advance can be the Solution(s) you need. At Whymediate
we know how to get the two parents working together on the same page through
creative mediation.
What is meant by “Parenting Time?” Parenting time, which is
also referred to as physical custody or visitation, is the designation of time
of when the child will be with each their parents. Generally, a specific
schedule or parenting plan is appropriate so that each parent knows when
parenting time starts and stops and allows for consistency for the child. It
may even set aside where the visitations will take place and if any special
conditions need to be met.
Raising children can have special challenges. When the parents
live in separate homes, the challenges are greater because relationships become
more complicated. Sometimes parents disagree about how much time children should
spend with each parent. A statewide
committee of judicial officers, mental health providers, and attorneys created
this planning guide after consulting with well‐known experts on child development and after
reviewing current research and guidelines from other communities. Decisions
about parenting time depend on many things, particularly the age of the child.
This information about what a child learns, feels, and needs at different ages
needs to be considered when setting up the guidelines for parenting time. It
also provides suggested plans for each age group.
