              Christmas:                    12:00 noon Christmas Day until 10:00 p.m. January 1

The holiday visitation schedule set out above is to be observed whether or not it coincides with the regular every other week visitation schedule and is in addition thereto. However, it is intended that the holidays alternate between custodial and non-custodial parents. Therefore, on those occasions when non-custodial visitation is ordinarily scheduled on a holiday set aside to the custodial parent, the non-custodial visitation shall not take place.

III.    SPECIAL VISITATION:

With respect to Father's Day and Mother's Day, if the father is the non-custodial parent, and if Father's Day falls on a weekend not regularly scheduled for paternal visitation, he shall have visitation on Father's Day from 12:00 noon until 10:00 p.m. If Mother's Day falls within a weekend of the father's visitation, he shall return the child or children to the mother at 12:00 noon on Mother's Day. If the mother is the non-custodial parent, the reverse shall apply.

IV.   SUMMER VISITATION:

The non-custodial parent shall have summer visitation from 8:00 a.m. June 15 until 10:00 p.m. June 30 and from 8:00 a.m. August 1 until 10:00 p.m. August 15. (If the beginning date of the fall school term is prior to August 15, then the child or children shall be returned to the custodial parent at least 48 hours before the first day of school, and such visitation period shall begin at an earlier date to assure the non-custodial parent a two-week period.

It is important to be aware that this visitation schedule is for the purpose of providing assured minimum amounts of visitation between non-custodial parent and child or children. Visitation should exceed the number of occasions set out herein. In addition, liberal telephone communications between non-custodial parent and child are encouraged and should occur.

Both parties hereto shall be mindful and considerate of the child's school activities, sports activities, extracurricular activities and peer activities and associations; and in the event of conflict respecting physical custody or visitation as hereinabove provided, both parties hereto shall work together to insure continuity of the child's activities.
