WHAT TO ASK YOURSELF IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A JOINT RESIDENTIAL SCHEDULE

If you are considering a joint schedule with the children going back and forth between your homes, here are several very important considerations.
1. Do you have good communication with your child’s other parent?
2. Do you live in a close proximity to each other so your child can have the same friends and participate in the same activities form each home?
3. Are you willing to put your child’s needs ahead of your own?
4. Are you willing to negotiate?
5. Are you willing to be flexible and change the residential schedule as the needs arises?
6. Can you empathize with the needs of the children and the other parent?
7. Do you respect your child’s relationship with the other parent?
