but I really doubt that any court would complete eliminate the option of overnight parenting time until the child is 3. I know that there are standard visitation orders in some Oklahoma districts specifically for children under 3 that have shorter periods with the the NCP than the standard orders for children over 3. But even those orders allow overnight parenting time. I think the person you are quoting is taking this idea to the extreme.
What state are you refering to ?
Obviously kids need a parenting relationship with both parents. The only way to have this is for there to be overnight parenting time. Kid's learn a routine and adjust to their schedule. Both parents are capable of caring for a toddler -- although it might take more communication on the parent's part to keep their schedule consistent etc.
In any case, I don't think anyone would ask a 3 year old to spend the night with a stranger. They would be spending the night with a parent that hopefully had used all of the time available with the child up to that point.
