Flexible Visitation Schedule Clause

Summary

A flexible visitation schedule clause allows visitation to be arranged around the non-custodial parents work schedule, ensuring the child maintains consistent and meaningful time with both parents. To modify a custody agreement, document your new work schedule, draft a proposal, negotiate with the other parent, and if necessary, file a modification request with the family court. The right of first refusal clause can also be included, requiring the custodial parent to offer the non-custodial parent the opportunity to care for the child when unavailable.

Hi ****! You may want to request a modification to your custody agreement. Here’s a general approach:
- Document your new schedule: Provide details about your work shifts and how they will affect your availability.
- Draft a proposal: Clearly state your request for flexible hours and overnights.
- Negotiate with the other parent: Try to reach an agreement outside of court.
- File a modification request: If needed, file a petition with the family court.
