Petition for Dissolution of Marriage - Oklahoma
h) Pickup and Drop-off. Unless other arrangements are made, the
non-custodial parent shall pick up the children at the times specified and return
them at the times specified. The custodial parent shall have the children ready for
visitation at the time they are to be picked up and shall be present at the home to
receive the children at the time they are returned. Unjustified violations of this
provision may result in the offender being subject to contempt of court.
(Commentary: While it is most desirable for the parents to pick up and return the
children, this provision does not prohibit grandparents, current spouses or other
appropriate adults known to the children.)
i) Extracurricular Activities. Children are often involved in sports, lessons, and
other extracurricular activities which are generally to their benefit and enjoyment.
Each parent shall recognize that a reasonable amount of extracurricular activities
are generally assumed to be in the children' s best interests. Each parent should
attempt to be flexible in order to accommodate the children ' s extracurricular
activity schedules as must as reason- ably possible, although extracurricular
activities should not supersede summer visitation with non-custodial parents, nor
should they be used as a method by which to deny access to the non-custodial
parent. In recognition of the scheduling difficulties that can be caused by
children' s extracurricular activities, custodial parents should act in good faith in
attempting to schedule such extracurricular activities as not to unreasonably
infringe upon the non-custodial parent's access to the children. Likewise, the non-
custodial parent should act in food faith in attempting to assist in transportation
needs and in accommodating the children's extracurricular schedules as much as
reasonably possible. Good faith communication by the parents is essential with
regard to the difficult issue of the scheduling of children's extracurricular
activities.
j) Notice of Canceled Visitation. Whenever possible, the non-custodial parent
shall give a minimum of three (3) days notice of intent not to exercise all or part
of the scheduled visitation. When such notice is not reasonably possible, the
maximum notice permitted by the circumstances, and the reason therefore, shall
be given. The custodial parent shall give the same type of notice when good
cause exists making the cancellation or modification of scheduled visitation
necessary.
k) Missed Visitation. In the event the non-custodial parent misses visitation as the
result of illness of the child or parent, an emergency, or other such reasonable
excuse, the parties shall make a good faith effort to make up a portion of that
visitation within a reasonable period of time, understanding the importance of the
non-custodial parent's continuing and frequent contact with the children.
(Commentary: It is important to remember that illness should not necessarily
deprive the non-custodial parent of visitation with the children. Clearly, a non-
custodial parent can take care of a sick child as well as the custodial parent in
many circumstances.)
