What Would Be Best Visitation Schedule for Parents Who Live Real Close?

Our neighbor has custody school days and 1 weekend a month. The dad takes the kids 3 weekends and every Wed. til 9pm. Not saying it is the best, but it is consistent. Ask your son what he thinks. Consider activities like sports that will come up. At 13 he gets to have his own lawyer and make the choice for himself.

My co-worker has this one...it alternates so both parents get some week time with the kiddos. They have a homework chart and checklist that travels with the kids so the parents barely have to interact except if homework is not getting done.

Alternating Weekends, plus alternating Monday to Thursday a drop-off at school. This gives the kids constant time at home with both parents and I think it seems to work really well for them since they have activities and stuff that both parents get to be active in.

Hope that helps.

That depends on your ex's work schedule and what he wants to be honest. You can alternate major holidays, alternate weekends, or even alternate weeks of the month. School can be a challenge with homework and stuff so you will have to try and see what works and what doesn't.

At 10 your son could probably go week on / week off. have the "exchange" happen on Mondays (school drop-off by one parent, pick up by the other) and so there will be no uncomfortable situations.

Hi there, my parents divorced when I was really young and eventually ended up living three blocks from each other on the same street. My sister and I would stay a week with each parent and then go to the next friday after school. Thats how it was for years until we were older. My sister and I both turned out well, It did get a little tiring sometimes but it wasnt too bad because if we had forgotten something we needed it was only a few blocks away. I hope that this helps you. Good Luck

I lived 2 blocks from my ex (his doing) it was 50/50 every other weekend, and one night during the week (dad gets odd weekend, so 1st,3rd,5th, some times there are 5 weekend, he gets them 2 in a row) But at 10 they might recommend that he go every other week, one his, next yours. Holidays still rotate. We are about 6 miles from one another now, things still the same. But unless you agree on something...not sure, you go to the mediator and they try to help you resolve things...LOL.
