There are several common restrictions/limitations placed upon both parents in your parenting plan.  All of these are not always included, however, I mention them for the simple fact that some things are not worth fighting over.   Some of the most common are:

1.  Notification of Intent to Change Child’s Residence:  KSA 60-1620 requires that the each parent shall give the other parent written notice 30 days prior to changing the residence of the child or removing the child from Kansas for a period in excess of 90 days

2.  Reasons that are not valid for denying contact:

• the child is sick
• the child is not home
• the non-residential parent is not paying child support
• child wants to stay home
• parent does not want the child to go
• bad weather

3. Third Parties/Significant Others:  limitations can be placed on the parties requiring the parties to provide the other spouse with contact information, including full name and phone number of any signficant others that will be around the minor child.

Some parties also agree to not allow any introduction of a significant other or overnight guests of the opposite sex within a six months to one year from the date the divorce is final.

4. Extracurricular Activities: If parties are going to split the cost, then generally they have to agree to the activity.  If one party enrolls the child in something they don’t agree on, then the disagreeing party is not required to take the child to the activity during his/her parenting time.
