Beth, I live in Hawaii and my ex-husband lives on the mainland, but I can`t afford the tickets to go to his father`s house. I want to know how many times children have to go to the mainland with a standard plan and how long are the standard visits. The child lives with one parent and spends the 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends with the other. This custody agreement can work in conflict situations, as there is little exchange. There is also flexibility in the duration of weekend visits. However, the rigid weekend calendar may conflict with sporting events and activities for children of compulsory school age. Also, a parent who only has the child on weekends misses the daily routine and other activities on weekdays. Economic considerations: Agreements may be limited by the financial realities of co-parents. If air travel between homes is particularly expensive, a remote sensing plan must take into account the financial means of the co-parents. Kim`s question is that my husband and I are in the process of getting divorced. He lives in Florida and I live in Georgia with our child. Now he wants me to travel halfway to meet him every other weekend with our child.

Will the judge get me to travel this distance, or is it the father`s responsibility? Question from Erika: My 4-year-old daughter`s father lives at 4 and a half hours in another state. He has visits every weekend. For now, we are halfway there. It really pays tribute to my daughter, me and my car. She doesn`t want to visit her, so I argue with her every weekend. How far is it too far before remote visitors start? The good news is that while remote sensing is hardly ideal, it can work and is actually much more manageable than it was a decade or two ago. Remote co-parenting is complicated, so it`s only natural that remote parenting plans are complex documents that need to take into account a large number of situations. Beyond the logistics of planning and travel, co-parents must also offer a space for growth in their remote sensing plan.

If the co-parents don`t get closer, families have to host remote visits for many years. But the needs and capacities of children will also change during these years and a remote sensing plan must be able to adapt to these new conditions. . . .
