NOTES:
-
Both parents should approach the custody schedule with a willingness to adjust and compromise, recognizing that the child's needs may change over time.
-
Regular, open communication between parents is crucial for addressing any concerns or changes related to the custody arrangement, ensuring the child's best interests are always prioritized.
-
The custody schedule should be periodically reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted to accommodate the growing and changing needs of the child, maintaining its relevance and effectiveness.
