Sixth Judicial District Supreme Court Approved LR6-Form 3.03 November 21, 2002 1 LR6-Form 3.03 2 STATE OF NEW MEXICO 3 COUNTY OF ___________________________ 4 SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT 5 6 ________________________________, Petitioner 7 8 No. ____________ 9 v. 10 Judge _____________11 12 ________________________________, Respondent 13 14 ORDERED PARENTING PLAN FOR 15 FOR THE CHILDREN OF 16 ______________________________ and 17 ____________________________ 18 19 1. Children involved: The childrens names and dates of 20 birth are as follows: 21 22 Name Date of birth23 ____________________________________________ _____________24 ____________________________________________ _____________25 ____________________________________________ _____________26 ____________________________________________ _____________27 28 2. Primary physical custody: The children shall be in the 29 primary physical custody of the [mother] [father] 30 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "custodial 31 parent") with the [father] [mother] (hereinafter sometimes 32 referred to as the "non-custodial parent") having periods of 33 responsibility as set forth in this order. 34 35 PROPER CONDUCT OF SEPARATED PARENTS 36 37 To father and mother: 38 39 You are involved in a divorce suit and are the parents 40 of minor children. As you know, your children are usually 41 the losers when their parents separate. They are deprived 42 of the full-time, proper guidance that two parents can give 43 -- guidance and direction essential to their moral and 44 spiritual growth. 45 46 Although there is probably some bitterness between you, 47 it should not be inflicted upon your children. In every 48 childs mind there must and should be an image of two good 49 parents. Your future conduct with your children will be 50 helpful if you will follow these suggestions: 51 <<<<<<<<<********>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 Sixth Judicial District Supreme Court Approved LR6-Form 3.03 November 21, 2002 1 A. Do not poison your childrens minds against either 2 their mother or father in discussing their shortcomings. Do 3 not attempt to buy your childrens favor by presents or 4 special treatment. 5 6 B. Do not expose your children to any member of the 7 opposite sex with whom you may be emotionally involved. 8 9 C. Do not use your visitation as an excuse to 10 continue arguments with the other parent. 11 12 D. Do not visit your children if you have been 13 drinking. Do not visit your children at unreasonable hours. 14 15 E. Be prompt in paying child support as ordered. You 16 will not be credited with presents, clothes, etc., as part 17 of the child support ordered. 18 19 F. Do not fail to notify the other parent as soon as 20 possible if you are unable to keep your visitation. Its 21 unfair to your children to keep them waiting -- and worse to 22 disappoint them by not coming at all. 23 24 G. Make your visitation as pleasant as possible for 25 your children by not questioning them regarding the 26 activities of the other parent and by not making extravagant 27 promises which you know you cannot or will not keep. 28 29 H. The parent with whom the children live must 30 prepare them both physically and mentally for the 31 visitation. The children should be available at the time 32 mutually agreed upon. 33 34 I. If one parent has plans for the children that 35 conflict with the visitation and these plans are in the best 36 interests of the children, be adults and work out the 37 problem together. 38 39 J. Always work for the spiritual well-being, health, 40 happiness and safety of your children. 41 42 3. Legal custody: 43 44 The parties shall have joint legal custody of the 45 children, with significant periods of responsibility 46 allocated to each parent in accordance with the terms of 47 this parenting plan and with authority and responsibility 48 for making major decisions in the childrens best interests 49 as set out herein. Joint legal custody means that neither 50 of you will unilaterally make a major change affecting your 51 children in the areas of religion, residence, non-emergency 52 medical or dental care, education or major recreational <<<<<<<<<********>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 Sixth Judicial District Supreme Court Approved LR6-Form 3.03 November 21, 2002 1 activities. Before such a decision is made, you will 2 discuss the matter, and both of you must agree. If you 3 cannot agree, your disagreement will be resolved by the 4 methods chosen in Paragraph 14 of this plan. Until 5 agreement or resolution, no change will be made. This 6 agreement shall set forth the authority and responsibility 7 for making major decisions in the childrens best interest 8 as set out in this order. Except as otherwise specified in 9 this order, you shall have joint responsibility and 10 authority for the major decisions affecting the childrens 11 health, medical and dental treatment, education, religious 12 activities, recreational activities and residence. Neither 13 of you shall implement a decision which constitutes a major 14 change in either of the childrens lives with respect to 15 these designated areas without consultation with the other 16 parent. 17 18 4. Contact with non-custodial parent : The custodial19 parent shall encourage and support frequent contact between 20 the non-custodial parent and the children. When a parent 21 does not have the children in their care, such parent is 22 entitled to keep in touch with the children. Both parents 23 have the right to contact the children by mail as frequently 24 as they desire without interference or supervision of 25 correspondence by the other parent. During any time that 26 the children are out of the custody of one parent or the 27 other for more than a weekend, the children shall not only 28 be allowed, but required by the parent who has them in their 29 custody, to call the other parent twice each week and once 30 per weekend; that is, if the children are with one parent 31 for an entire week, they will call the other parent twice 32 during that week period; and if they are in the custody of 33 one parent for a weekend they will call the other parent one 34 time during the weekend. Such telephone conversations shall 35 not be monitored or supervised by the parent in whose 36 custody the children are in at the time. 37 38 5. The childrens wishes: The childrens wishes should39 and must be considered when decisions are made about them. 40 How much weight you give a childs wishes will depend on the 41 age of the child
