Sample Stipulation and Order Modifying Judgment.

This sample order can be used as a shared placement schedule. It is very important that fathers are consistent with their placement schedule. If fathers are not consistent with their placement schedule, the Commissioner/Judge could discontinue your current order and replace it with a less favorable order. To customize your stipulation to your case, use the Proposed Parenting Plan form. This will ensure that nothing is missed during your modification process. (varies from state to state.)

3. Additionally, DAD shall have placement of the child the third full week of July and the second full week of August each year from Sunday at 9:00 a.m. until the next Sunday at 5:00 p.m.

4. Respondent (MOM) and (DAD) will alternate placement of their son/daughter on the following holidays: Thanksgiving, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, commencing with DAD having the child on Thanksgiving Day, 2007, MOM having Easter, 2008, etc. Holiday placement begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m., unless the holiday is a weekend or Monday holiday, in which case it begins at 4:00 p.m. the preceding Friday and ends at 9:00 p.m. Sunday or Monday.
