Although there are many aspects of the child custody process that can be difficult to work through, few are as logistically challenging as the development of a mutually agreeable child visitation calendar. In the majority of custody cases, divorcing parents work together to create a calendar that suits the schedules and needs of both households. However, in some situations, the court will impose a child visitation calendar of its own creation. This typically occurs only when the parents are having difficulty working together to develop their own proposed schedule. Although a court-imposed child visitation calendar often represents the best compromise and the fairest possible outcome, some parents find that the itinerary chosen by the court is arbitrary and inconvenient. For this reason, most experts advise divorcing parents to attempt to set aside their differences and work together to devise their own child visitation calendar and submit it to the custody court for approval.
