PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Counties change their local visitation schedules. The county you live in may have changed their rule(s) yesterday. The county you live in may have different visitation schedules for Juvenile Court and Domestic Court. The rule may have been changed or updated since the last time this web page was updated. In addition, if you already have a visitation schedule pursuant to local rule, and that schedule was attached to your parenting time orders, it is POSSIBLE that the court did not mean for YOUR visitation schedule to change if the local visitation schedule in your county changes. The local visitation schedules are put on this website as a courtesy and are updated as often as possible. They are NOT legal advice and they are NOT meant to help you figure out if a decision you are about to make would be a violation of an existing court order. If you want to make sure that you have the most current version of the local rule in your county, you can either look on your county Clerk of Court’s website, go to your local Clerk of Court’s office, or call your local Clerk of Court.

The office of the Clerk of Court cannot give you legal advice. This website, although prepared in part by attorneys, cannot and does not give you legal advice. You can only get legal advice by talking to an attorney of your choice about the facts of your case, and the law as it applies to the facts of your case.

Montgomery County Domestic Relations Court – Form 4 Dr-21 (4/01) – Standard Order Of Parenting Time
Parents are encouraged to create an agreed equitable written parenting time schedule that fits their circumstances and their children’s lives, with the following serving as a schedule when the parents cannot agree. Nothing herein prohibits the parents from changing the schedule upon mutual agreement. In the event of conflicting dates and times, the following is the order of priority: Holidays; Birthdays; Summer/Breaks; Weekends; then Weekdays. This schedule presumes that if the parents have more than one child, the parenting time will be exercised with all children together.
If a child indicates a strong opposition to being with the other parent, it shall be the responsibility of both parents to positively encourage the non‑residential parenting time, appropriately deal with the situation by calmly discussing with the child his or her reasons and to work together to alleviate these misgivings without confrontation or argument. If they cannot resolve the problem, the parents shall seek the immediate assistance of a counselor or other professional, or may file a motion requesting court ordered counseling. It is the absolute duty of the residential parent to foster an environment which avoids such problems and to make certain that the children have an on-going relationship through non‑residential parenting time.
