Yamhill Supp. L. R. 16 app 4
The following suggestions are not binding unless adopted by court order.
1. INVOLVEMENT AND FLEXIBILITY
The parenting time schedule should be construed and implemented in a manner which fosters the child's best interest by providing liberal, predictable, and wholesome time between the child and the non-custodial parent. While this schedule promotes stability for the child, each parent acknowledges that reasonable adjustments will be needed from time to time and that an element of flexibility will be required in administering this parenting time schedule. Each parent should be flexible in arranging dates and time with the child so important family events and the child's activities are maintained with minimal disruption. Each parent shall act reasonably in registering the child for activities keeping in mind that neither parent is entitled to require activities for the child which will take place during the other parent's time with the child. On the other hand, there are activities which occur (such as school, athletic, music and other programs) that, by their very nature, take place on the other parent's weekend or scheduled parenting time.
(a) Although neither parent is required to take a child to any activity, each parent is encouraged to use his or her best effort to keep the child involved in athletic events, school functions, lessons, birthday parties of friends, etc., even though those activities may fall during a parenting time period. To do otherwise would deprive the child of valuable growing opportunities.
(b) Each parent is encouraged to use a child's activity as an opportunity for that parent to participate with the child, meet the child's friends and other families and to have a quality experience with the child.
2. TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL
The parents should seek to agree as to whether either parent should smoke or use vapor products in the presence of the child, especially if the child has asthma or other respiratory issues, and whether either parent should drink alcohol to the point where they are affected by the alcohol in the presence of the child.
3. MARIJUANA
The parents should not smoke or vape marijuana or use marijuana products in the presence of the child. Parents should not use marijuana products to the point where the parent is affected by the marijuana in the presence of the child. Any marijuana paraphernalia or marijuana products should be stored securely and not accessible to children under 21. Special care must be taken to insure that children do not have access to edible marijuana products because of the danger of overdose.
