[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reasonable:

You are moving away so:

You fly the child out, leave chid with Dad Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break and fly back and get him when break is over paying all expenses.  Reasonable is Dad gets 8 weeks in the summer with you flying child back/forth and paying for the flights.

Reasonable is a 10 minute phone call every night.[/quote]

The kid never spending Christmas, Thanksgiving or any meaningful part of summer break with mom is not reasonable.[/quote]

Actually it is.  Mom is moving away and Child only gets Dad a few times a year.  Mom has birthday, every other holiday, etc.  If mom wants holidays and summer, then Dad gets school year.  She is taking the child away from their other parent.   [/quote]

Everyone needs to take the question of who is moving and why out of it, because the visitation/contact arrangements are about the kid's needs, not the parents, and the kid had no say in who moved where.  Any arrangement that tries to stick it to one parent because they aren't living near the other is definitely not in the kid's best interest.[/quote]
