The purpose of a contact schedule is for children to understand they have two parents who are entitled to love their children and be loved in return.
- If the children come back from a weekend with the other parent and are upset or tell you they do not want to go anymore, that is not reason to deny contact unless their health and/or welfare are endangered by the contact.
- If you are having a disagreement with the other parent or harbor ill feelings, that is not reason to deny contact.
- However, contact must be reasonable. That means if he or she wants to see your child in the middle of the night or is drunk or stoned, you do not have to permit contact.
