Difference between revisions of "Parenting Orders, Guardianship, and Contact (3:XI)"

Disputes over parenting time of minor children are often the most difficult issues to resolve during the breakdown of a marriage or other relationship. Parenting time decisions can always be changed; however, courts rarely make such changes. Thus, the decision about who gets interim parenting time is particularly important. Children usually stay with the parent who has provided primary care in the past and who can spend the most time with them. Sometimes, courts will order joint parenting time on an interim basis so that neither parent’s position is prejudiced.
