Ideally, parents need to be able to work together to place the needs of their children first. Joint custody is ideal for parents as it allows both parents the ability to share legal rights, privileges, duties, and responsibilities pertaining to the best interests of the child. Most custody orders will have a clear schedule related to parent time, often broken up based on the following:

• Alternating weekends
• Weeknights
• Holiday and vacation schedules

Both parties will need to have a written agreement if scheduling conflicts arise and visitation dates need to be changed. Having everything in writing is the best way to protect yourself in the event of an ex-spouse arguing against the other in future custody disputes.

A clear visitation outline must also include information about who will transport the children and where pick-up and drop-offs will occur.
