Visitation schedule with issues

what do you consider an appropriate pernament visition schedule for the n/c parent who lives ten miles from the childrens school and our home. they are 8 and 5, the boys have been on this schedule for almost 2 years now. its everyother weekend fri-sun. and a mid week dinner. the boys counsel and whatever the other partent convinced him of, wants it till fri-monday morning. we have tried this in the past and this didnt work. the children were returneds to school, unfed, exhausted looking, and ones allergies were bothering him from all the indoor pets. the older child does not want to have to go to school from there, as we live 2 blocks from their school. To add to this the mom has a boyfriend with many issues. The boys counsel wants to submit a pernament plan for next school year with the minors stay at the moms on thurs. till monday. they will be in a more difficult grade as well as the transportation. how can one want to break up the middle of there week when everything is smooth as it is? this troubles me.

Re: Visitation schedule with issues

There is no such thing as a standard visitation schedule, but what you have outlined is about the minimum for a non-custodial parent who is involved in their child's life. It would be difficult to counter what the child's attorney has recommended based upon the limited information that you have given. Make sure that the child's attorney has all of the facts. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
