An Overview of Reasonable Time-Sharing Schedule Arrangement
by David L Martin Law Offices of David L. Martin, Esq. PCOne of the most
important things to follow in your child’s life after your divorce is your
time-sharing schedule arrangement with your ex. In New York, parents who have
joint physical custody must make a parenting plan outlining how their child
will spend time with each parent.
Most Nassau County divorce
attorneys recommend parents
consider reasonable time-sharing. Reasonable time-sharing is often used by
parents who share joint custody and can co-parent and communicate amicably with
one another. This schedule arrangement can indicate that the parents make their
own parenting plan or adjust the plan as they go. Of course, all agreements
must be in the child’s best interests.
Reasonable time-sharing
schedule arrangement allows parents to change dates to accommodate work trips,
holidays, or their child’s needs. It makes it easier for some families to plan
their lives around rather than having set visitation dates. It can also be
based on the child’s immediate needs, making it easier for parents to think
about their time-sharing in relation to their child’s growth and development.
This arrangement also makes co-parenting easier because parents will already be
communicating about schedules and everything going on in their child’s life.
Keep in mind that
maintaining a good relationship with your ex is essential for a reasonable
time-sharing schedule arrangement. If you cannot maintain an amicable and
cooperative relationship with your ex, it will be impossible to sustain this
setup.
Both parents must agree
on the same parenting plan for reasonable time-sharing agreements to survive.
If the agreement fails, you will need to modify your child custody order to
create a specific schedule. The set schedule may resolve time-sharing disputes
and prevent future conflicts, which will eventually benefit your child.
