Legal Question in Family Law in California

If you are like most divorcing couples you will eventually be back in court over that provision. It is totally and rediculously ambiguous. Sooner or later you will be fighting over what is reasonable times and reasonable places. I can't predict if she will eventually argue that only visiting in her home is reasonable, but she could, and you could make just as good or better that it is unreasonably restrictive, and then what do you do? Back to court. If it is not about that it will be whether Friday after school to Sunday evening is reasonable, or only Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. It WILL be something. Make a clear and specific parenting plan with a clear and specific schedule of custody and no language about places except perhaps to preclude leaving the state or the country without written permission (written permission is required to leave the country these days anyway).

P.S. The best and really ONLY way to keep a divorce amicable is to do two things. 1. BOTH remember to put the kids first and 2. Put everything in clear writing that is not open to interpretation. You are always free to deviate from a clear schedule by mutual agreement, but having something to fall back on when you don't agree, that is clear and simple, is essential.
