My friends have very recently announced that they are ending their 15 year marriage. They have two children, both in school full time.
They have decided to forego Lawyers and have asked for my assistance in compiling their separation agreement.
The husband has been the sole income earner ($75,000/yr) for the past 7 years, while the wife was a stay at home mother. She has recently re-trained and is actively seeking employment... (anticipated earning potential approx. $30,000 to $35,000).
They have agreed to joint legal custody with the mother acting as the primary caregiver.
These are the rough ideas I have for access... can my fellow posters provide some assistance or further ideas please????
Access will be EOW From Friday at 5:00p.m. to Sunday at 8:00p.m. as well as Tuesday and Thurday evenings from 5:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. each week.
Access will extend to include an extra night in the event of a holiday weekend.
Christmas access will be as follows:
Year #1 -
Parent #1:
Shall have access to the children from the last scheduled day of the school semester at 6:00p.m. until Christmas Day at 12:00p.m.
Parent #2:
Shall have access to the children from Christmas Day at 12:00p.m. until December 31st at 12:00p.m.
Year #2 - Access schedule will remain the same; however, the children will enjoy access with the alternate parent.
This way the parent who get to enjoy the kids on Christmas Eve, also have them on New Years... so the parent who doesnt get Christmas Eve, gets to party on new years??
And so on and so forth....
Easter/Thanksgiving access shall be as follows:
From Thursday at 6:00p.m. to Monday at 6:00p.m. (alternating throughout).
I am thinking that the parent who gets to enjoy Easter with the children, will have to forfeit Thanksgiving, and so on....
Each parent will have the children on their cooresponding Mothers/Fathers days from 9:00a.m. to 9:00p.m.... regardless of regular access schedule.
Each parent will share time with the children on the childs birthday... wherein Parent #1 will have the child from 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. and Parent#2 will have the child from 3:00p.m. until 9:00p.m.... times will alternate on an annual basis.
What do you guys think so far?
