Q: Supreme Court Parenting Plan form for Florida. Extracurriculars, childcare, and transportation
1. If you could can you please interpret the definition for extracurriculars? What type of activities fall under the definition?
2. Childcare, does this mean schooling or does it also include sitters or family members watching the children?
3. Transportation, does one parent have the ability to dictate the use of public transportation while that parent in on-duty?
4. How much say does the other parent have in the life of the parent in terms of day-day? Besides consistency.
A:
All of the answers rely on common sense and agreement between the parents. If the parents do not agree on any particular issue then the remedy is to go to court.
1. An extracurricular activity is outside of school like soccer or music lessons.
2. Not schooling but it could mean daycare if the child is not school age yet.
3. Each parent has some level of autonomy when it is their time with the children. You use the word dictate which is very strong. If the child is age appropriate and the parent says to use public transportation then they can.
4. The short answer in NONE. Each parent must rely on the other to take care of the children during their time without interference from the other parent.
Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
