Dad Seeks Reinstatement of Unsupervised Parenting Time
Custody hearing between Sarah Perkins Campbell and James Wentworth. Here's a summary of the key points and decisions made:
The Case: The hearing concerns the reinstatement of James Wentworth's (father) unsupervised parenting time with his child, which was previously suspended.
The Recommendation: Miss Barr, a court official, recommended unsupervised parenting time for the father on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weekends of the month (Friday after school to Sunday at 6 PM), with exchanges at the Milan Police Department. Holidays would be shared, with the Friends Court holiday schedule as a fallback if parents couldn't agree. Crucially, the recommendation included the father not taking Adderall.
Points of Contention & Court Decisions:
The mother (Campbell) requested drug testing for three to six months to ensure compliance, but the mother was unwilling to pay for the testing.
Exchange Location: The mother requested a change of exchange location from the Milan Police Department to the child's school (Bellville Elementary). While the father objected, citing equal distance as the reason for the police department location.
Parenting Time Schedule: The mother requested a change to the parenting time schedule from the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weekends to every other weekend, arguing insufficient time with the child.
Current Recommendation (from court mediator, Miss Barr):
Unsupervised visitation for the father on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weekends of the month, Friday after school to Sunday at 6 PM (or 6 PM on Sunday if no school).
Exchanges at the Milan Police Department on Sundays at 6 PM.
Holidays to be shared, with the Friends Court schedule as a fallback if parents can't agree.
The judge is overseeing the hearing, clarifying points of contention, and ultimately will decide on the final custody order based on the presented arguments and evidence. The judge seems inclined to consider the mother's requests for a change in exchange location, given the practical difficulties at the police department.
Child support is money paid by one parent to the other parent for the purpose of providing financial support to a child or children. Most frequently, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent, but this is not always the case. Depending on where you live and the agreement you reach, the child support you pay or receive and what expenses it should cover will vary.
