In conflictual child sharing relationships, all child sharing agreements should specifically defined, with clearly written child sharing arrangements defining who, what, when, where and how all child exchanges will occur.

Recommendations for Child Sharing Agreements
Agreements should include
all holidays, and regular time
share exchanges, along with
procedures for any special
events that may alter the
child sharing schedule.

Clearly defined child sharing plans eliminate
language such as “mutually agreed upon by the
parents,” or “reasonable visitation.”
Recommendations for Child Sharing Agreements
Leaving any unresolved child
sharing decisions means the
parents have to talk - which
spells trouble!!!

High conflict people can’t mutually agree about
anything and they shouldn’t ever be expected to do so either.
Recommendations for Child Sharing Agreements
The belief from the courts is that “someday”, “maybe” or “perhaps in the future” the parents will be able to work together; but unless the conflict dies down, right now means that the “someday” will be “never.”
