Every Other Weekend Parenting Plan

Sometimes it becomes necessary to revise the parenting plan you created as you and the other parent were going through your divorce proceedings. A parenting plan cannot cover every aspect of life and cannot anticipate how real life will change over the years. There is no problem with revising your parenting plan as long as it continues to put your childrens best interests first.

For a Georgia Superior Court to deny visitation to a parent, it must be determined that the child would be harmed in some way by continuing to have a relationship with the parent. This could be because of abuse allegations or because of criminal or immoral activity. In most cases, the court will not deny visitation permanently but will order the non-custodial parent to meet certain obligations. Often a parent will deny the other parent visitation rights. This is a violation of a court order and the other parent can be charged with contempt. First, the parent who was denied visitation must file for modification of visitation. Unfortunately, this can take several weeks to move through the court system before the parent has his or her visitation rights destroyed.

If parents decide to separate and the mother or father moves out the house, the parents need to figure out the child custody situation during this time. Because the time of separation is uncertain and the parents usually do not know how it will end, the mother and father should come up with a parenting agreement for temporary custody. Temporary child custody refers to the time period when the parents are waiting to find out if or when they will need a permanent parenting agreement.

Under Florida law, biological parents have first priority in child custody issues. Only under exceptional circumstances does the court ordinarily grant visitation or custody rights to step-parents. If the child`s primary caregiver believes that maintaining contact with the step-parent is in the child`s best interests, it is possible for the step-parent to have formal visitation rights. If the court believes this might infringe on the rights of the other parent, however, the step-parent may be excluded.
