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.

Jefferson County Parenting Time Guidelines
1. Parenting time is a time for children to do things with the parent with whom they do not live. Activities you can do with them or skills you can teach them help the time be rewarding. Helping the children find friends in your neighborhood also helps make it like home for them.
Liberal parenting time arrangements are encouraged, as contact with both parents is important to the children. Specific items in each case’s Order take precedence over this schedule. Changes or modifications can be made by the court if need for such is shown. This schedule does not affect support payments.
Please be advised that this schedule represents the minimum requirements for parenting time. It is each party’s responsibility to tailor this schedule as necessary to meet the best interest of their child(ren). Absent such agreement these requirements shall be followed by each party. [Read more…]
