This is what my court order says:(it was entered into court files in July 2005)
****IT IS STIPULATED that the defendant (me) shall have visitation rights with *daughter* pursuant to the South Dakota visitation guidelines, said visitation to be every other weekend from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. the following Sunday. No overnight visits shall be allowed. Defendant shall be responsible for transportation for the weekend visitations.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the defendant and plaintiff shall continue to share joint legal custody of *daughter.*
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the defendant shall be allowed reasonable phone access to the minor child of the parties, and the parties are to keep each other advised as to the location of the minor child.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that this stipulation shall remain in effect until further order of the court.*****
------The last week of December 2006, a stipulation was entered into the court files. This is what it says:
*****Defendent agrees to take *daughter* to therapy sessions once a week for 4 weeks with *therapist.*
DEFENDANT will pick up *daughter* from Plantiff house and take to therapy sessions.
DEFENDANT and Plaintiff will reevalute the custody order at the end of the 4 weeks.
*******
I was under the impression that this all meant I would take my daughter to therapy AND I was still entitled to my EOW visitation.
1. Does this stipulation override the previous court order concerning my EOW visits?
2. If it does override it, do I no longer have joint custody as well?
