Without reviewing the document, based on what you typed, your parenting plan seems reasonable based on the father's alleged history of substance abuse, domestic violence, and other safety concerns. Courts tend to prioritize the best interests of the child when handling custody matters.

However, the final decision rests entirely with the judge. The judge has broad discretion to modify or reject some or all of the proposed plan as they see fit. So, while your proposal seems reasonable and thoughtful, it will be up to the judge to determine whether it is in the best interests of the child.

Does my parenting plan look complete and comprehensive that a judge will agree with it?

I understand you're concerned about your parenting plan being comprehensive. Can you tell me more about what is included in the plan?

Proposed Visitation Schedule for the Father:

  1. Supervised Visitation Only
    All visits between the Father and the Son must be supervised by a person approved by the Mother.
    Visits will last two (2) hours, provided the supervisor is available for the full duration.

  2. Flexible Scheduling Due to Work
    Due to the Father’s job as a truck driver, visitation dates and times will be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
    The Father must provide at least 72 hours’ notice before requesting a visit to allow proper arrangements.
    If the Father is home for an extended period (more than 3 days), additional visits may be scheduled as agreed upon by both parties.

  3. Exchange Protocol for Safety
    The Mother may be present for pick-up and drop-off.
    Communication between the Mother and Father will be limited to the Son’s well-being and visitation logistics only.
    There will be no unwanted physical contact between the Mother and Father.

  4. Location and Duration of Visits
    Visits will take place at a mutually agreed-upon public location or a designated supervised visitation center.
    The Father may not remove the Son from the visitation location under any circumstances.

  5. Communication & Boundaries
    All communication regarding the Son will take place through the AppClose parenting app.
    All phone and video calls will be recorded for safety purposes.
    Calls and video chats must be pre-scheduled.

Failure to comply with these terms may result in a modification of visitation rights by the court.

Additional Terms & Conditions for Visitation Agreement

  1. No Access to Residential Address

    • The Father will not have access to the Mother’s home address or any other private residence where the Son resides.

    • All exchanges must occur in a neutral, public location or at a designated supervised visitation center.

  2. Mandatory Drug Testing

    • The Father must submit to court-ordered drug testing, including random testing, before any visitation is permitted.

    • Failure or refusal to comply will result in immediate suspension of visitation until court review.

  3. Supervised Visitation Center Option

    • If no approved third-party supervisor is available, visits must occur at a court-approved supervised visitation center at the Father’s expense.

    • Failure to attend scheduled visits without notice may lead to additional restrictions.

  4. Prohibition of Drug Use Before or During Visits

    • The Father must not be under the influence of, or suspected of using, drugs before or during any visitation or communication related to the Son.

    • If drug use is suspected by the supervisor or the Mother, the visit will be canceled immediately.

    • Repeated violations may result in termination of visitation rights.

  5. No Unauthorized Removal of Paige

    • The Father is not permitted to transport the Son in any vehicle unless explicitly approved by the Mother and supervised by the designated third party.

    • Any unauthorized attempt to remove the Son will be treated as parental kidnapping and reported to law enforcement.

  6. No Third-Party Involvement Without Approval

    • Unauthorized individuals, including romantic partners, friends, or relatives, may not be present during visits without the Mother’s prior approval.

    • Any such violation will result in immediate cancellation of the visit.

  7. Communication Restrictions

    • All communication must be civil and respectful.

    • Threats, harassment, or manipulation are strictly prohibited.

    • If such behavior occurs, the Mother reserves the right to block contact outside of the AppClose app.

    • All calls and video communications with the Son will be recorded for safety purposes.

  8. No Disrespectful or Derogatory Language

    • Neither parent may speak negatively about the other in the Son’s presence, including during visits, calls, or messages.

    • Yelling, cursing, or derogatory language is not tolerated.

    • Any violation may result in the immediate termination of the interaction and potential future restrictions.

Have you consulted with a family lawyer to review your parenting plan before submitting it to the court?

No, I don't have the money to pay for an attorney.

Lexi, Chatbot

Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your parenting plan.

There is a history of drug abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, emotional abuse and manipulation.
