X. WAITING:

The children and residential parent have no duty to await the visiting parent more than 30 minutes past the visitation time.  A parent who is  more than 30 minutes late forfeits companionship for that period, unless the delay is reasonable, advance notice is given, and other arrangements have been made, which do not work a hardship on the child or residential parent.

XI. MOVING:

Upon either parent learning that he or she will be moving, he or she shall immediately notify the other parent and provide the other parent with the moving date, new residence address and telephone number, and such other pertinent information necessary to effectuate a smooth move for the children.  The parents shall attempt in good faith to renegotiate an appropriate and beneficial new companionship schedule. If they are unable to do so, the non-residential parent shall, at a minimum, enjoy the existing companionship schedule for distances under 200 miles or the long-distance visitation for distances farther than 200 miles.  If the residential parent moves farther than fifty (50) miles from his/her current residence, then he/she shall bear the expense and responsibility of transportation until a court order modifying visitation is entered.  In the event the residential parent learns or determines that he or she will be moving, he or she shall file a notice of intent to relocate with this Court, and this Court shall send a copy of the notice to the non-residential parent.

XII. ACCESS TO RECORDS:

The non-residential parent shall have access to all medical, dental, optical, and psychological records of the minor children, and may consult with any treating physician, dentist, health care provider or teacher or school official regarding the children.  The residential parent hereby assigns to the nonresidential parent the authority to consent to any necessary emergency medical treatment for the children.  Each parent shall notify the other of any health problems of the children.

The non-residential parent shall have the same access as the residential parent to the children’s school records.  The non-residential parent shall have the right to participate in parent/teacher conferences, school trips, school programs, and other events in which parents are invited to participate.  The parent receiving the notices of such events, as well as the grade card, shall give a copy to the other parent within three days of receipt.  Any keeper of records or school official or employee who knowingly fails to comply with this Order is in contempt of court

XIII. CHILD DAY CARE CENTER:

The non-residential parent shall be entitled to access to any child day care center that is attended by the minor children of the parties.

XIV. TELEPHONE ACCESS:

Unless otherwise excused by the Court, each parent shall disclose to the other his/her home telephone number.  The children must be allowed to communicate by telephone on time per week with both parents, regardless of with whom the child is currently residing.  Both parents shall permit no less than one-half hour conversations.  The calling party shall bear the expense.  The children may call either parent collect at any and all reasonable times as he or she wishes.  Telephone communication shall not be monitored or censored.

XV. CURRENT ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER:

Each parent must keep the other informed of his or her current address and telephone number at all times.

XVI. SCHEDULE TO BE FURNISHED PARTIES:

Attorneys representing parties in domestic relations actions in this Court where there are no minor children shall furnish their clients with a copy of this Schedule when applicable.   A copy of the applicable visitation schedule shall be attached to the decree of dissolution or divorce and made a part thereof with any change in the schedule being noted in the decree.

4.  On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, no matter whose turn for visitation, the children shall be with the appropriate parent on those days.

5. The non-custodial parent shall have a two week period of visitation each summer so that he/she has the opportunity to take the children on vacation.  Likewise, to give the custodial parent the same opportunity, visitation schedule shall be adjusted to provide the custodial parent with a two week period in the summer uninterrupted by the non-custodial parent’s visitation.  The vacation period shall be arranged the moment the parents’ vacation schedules are posted  Child support is not abated for any period of visitation.

6.  The child shall celebrate his birthday in the house of the custodial parent in odd-number years and in the house of the non-custodial parent in even numbered years.  The parent not having visitation on the child’s birthday can have a separate birthday party, if desired.

7. In the event that a regularly schedule weekend visitation period is cancelled because of the child’s illness, the visitation shall be made up the next weekend.

8. The non-custodial parent shall bear the transportation expense necessary for exercising visitation.

9. Visitation does not mean picking up the children and then leaving them with someone else.  If circumstances so require, however, another responsible adult, such as a grandparent, may pick up the children for visitation and/or watch the children for a short period of time.  One example of a situation requiring such an arrangement is where the parent exercising visitation cannot get off work in time to pick up the children.

10. The residence of the children is not to be removed from the State of Ohio without first obtaining a modified visitation order from the Court.
