What do you need help with???

Make sure to state specific times and how long each parent will wait for the other at exchanges (example pick up/drop off time is at 6pm each parent shall wait 30 minutes just in case other parent gets stuck in traffic)

AND why ONLY the 3rd weekend of the month??

**These are my opinions, they are not legal advice**

 I know this all sounds up setting , But here is My opinion , And basically what ' What alway's seems to happen is , First let me explain < In Wash state this goes before a commissioner , First . and you get like 10 minutes , Itr is not a real hearing before a real judge unless its the trial date  or, you Make a Motion for reconsideration , then you go see a judge , But before we get that far > Most parenting plans have a dispute resolution clause written in it , And you should read your plan < What I did was apply for dispute resolution , And she failed to respond then , My atty set a motion for temporary parenting plan , I went to court with the paper from Pierce county Dispute resolution , Wich had the box checked that said " responding party failed to respond" I had enrolled in a parenting class that you take your kids too , And asked for that extra day ,And I asked the commissioner for a little more Visitation than I thought I could get , And I got a little more , I think if there is a feasable way to ask the commissioner for more visitation they will do it < so what I am saying is read your plan and see if you are supposed to do something like dispute resolution to modify the plan , And do it , then what My atty did is , Told me to tell her , " If we can decide before court then we cancell the court date " And if not we go see the Judge "  The kicker is . This was all before I actually made to a real trial . So he had me file for a change of custody "  Based on Moms thwarting and lack of cooperation for the best interest of the Minor child ,That puts a lot af pressure on some one " . She did respond with a much better offer but I took her all the way to trial , One of my points is , If the parenting plan says to go to dispute resolution first < The Judge or commissioner may help you read that part of the Parenting Plan and send you out the door ! So read the plan through out , I Personally would agree to the exchange at A sheriffs office that is half way between,And the verbal agreements probably don't even need to be mentioned Just get  the parenting plan written well , And go by it . I think the court will go with no smoking period < Especially if the child had asthma or some thing like that , You could put the info about false allegations , But " it is already perjury , And the court didn't do anything about that for me , I have heard of some people getting in trouble for making stuff up to the court , I know this is upsetting , I have been throught the whole thing , And I guess try to remmember the objective , Get the visits straightened out , And the court basically goes by what makes sense , And I always felt that they never gave iether one of us what we wanted , But It seems that they always Came to about the middle , So I haven't read your other posts and don't know  who moved away or what , But you could talk to like twenty attys on the phone and one of them will help you a bit , BUT It sounds to me like you will be setting a courtdate , And you should find out what you do to modify a parenting plan where you are from , And where jurisdiction is , And try to set jurisdiction to where you live , I have been to court uncountable times , And When I understand the system then it all isn't so wierd , Oh Ya In all of this , I have a small carpentry buiseness , And I find that attys often counter cetain arguments with common responses , And When they try to limit parenting time , By saying the travel is too far , You may want a response , And It could be " we have a great time in the car " We catch up on talking " And we alway's stop at the kids favorite ' XXXXX , Place and they love to go there! . I Think she is just being difficult And it will show ! I have been up against this same animal for some time < And it seems that reasonable answers to the court make them more friendly to me , And when they talk garbage to the court then the commissioner seemed turned off . And looked at me with a smile and said " what does the dad want for visitation ?  And I told them . And they gave me an Ok plan ! Its just all the turmoil in between < Again My atty has the theory , " set a court date and tell her if we settle then we don't go to court ,If we can't agree we go see see what the judge thinks " , And follow through . This theory has proved itself out for me . And she hasn't interfered with My visits for a long time !
