Custody/Visitation Schedule?
Hi All,
I was wondering if everyone could take the time to let me know what your current custody/vistation schedule is? Also how did you get to this current schedule---from divorce papers, mediation, dragging BM back to court, etc? Also what state was the court order done in? (I live in SC & we seem to be getting nowhere in court)
Currently my DH gets the following:
EOW during school time (SD in 1st grade)
2 Two-week periods over summer (notification to BM only)
Half Spring Break
Half Winter Break
Every other year for Thanksgiving day only (does NOT include Friday or weekend)
Plus some other holidays (every other year)---4th of July, MLK, Presidents & Labor
Every Father's day (day only)
Every DH Birthday (day only)
Every other SD birthday
Does this seem fair? My DH & the BM have been in and out of court since I moved in with my DH (May 2005, but married March 2005---another story). They have went to court-ordered mediation only to be told in court afterwards that mediation does not bear meaning when one party (the BM in this case) decides not to agree with mediation any longer.
I am trying to get a good idea of what is the "norm" in custody/visitation schedules.
Geez....
I reside in Delaware and the BF and I came to an agreement in Mediation....
He has them every other weekend (his choice) from 5pm F-6pm Su
Every Wednesday 5pm-8pm
Rotating Holidays (He has them Dec 24th 6pm-26th 8pm)
I have them New Years Eve/Day
No matter whos weekend it is, the kids are with the respective parent on Mothers Day/Fathers Day.
He has them for a maximum of 5 weeks during the summer, but cannot exceed more than 2 weeks in a row.
He has 24hrs to cancel a visitation period, and if he is 30m late he forfeits his visitation, unless we have agreed otherwise.(he is acutally usually early instead of late)
He is responsible for transportation to and from my residence, unless we both agree to meet somewhere.
Most of this is stuff he wanted. I wanted him to see the girls 1 additional day during the week when he doesn't have them on the weekend, but I can't make him. What we agreed to is acutally the standard for our state.
