Child Custody and Visitation Agreement

________________________________________ ("Custodian") shall
have custody of ________________________________________
("Child"), and control and supervision of _________ [his or her]
upbringing, subject to the following:

1. ________________________________________ ("Non-Custodial
Parent") shall have the right to visit the Child once each week,
on either of the following days, between the following hours,
respectively: (A) on ______________ [day of the week] between
_________________ [starting hour] and ______________ [ending
hour] or ______________ [alternate starting hour] and
______________ [alternate ending hour]; or (B) on ______________
[day of the week] between _________________ [starting hour] and
______________ [ending hour] or ______________ [alternate
starting hour] and ______________ [alternate ending hour].

It is agreed that the Non-Custodial Parent will notify the
Custodian on or before ___________________________ [day of the
week and time of day] whether the Non-Custodial Parent intends
to visit the Child and on which of the designated days and
times. If the day or hour selected is inconvenient, the
Custodian will notify the Non-Custodial Parent no later than
___________________________ [day of the week and time of day],
and the Non-Custodial Parent shall be permitted to visit the
Child the alternate day or during the alternate hours.

2. Nothing contained in this agreement shall be construed as an
obligation or a duty on the part of the Non-Custodial Parent to
accept custody of the Child at the time or for the periods
indicated. The intention of the parties is that the Non-
Custodial Parent's right of visitation shall be entirely
optional to Non-Custodial Parent, and should the Non-Custodial
Parent so desire, Non-Custodial Parent may waive the privilege
of visitation on any occasion and for any reason, without
waiving Non-Custodial Parent's right to future visits.

3. _____ Not applicable, or _____ Due to the present immaturity
of the Child, the Non-Custodial Parent shall not at the present
time be entitled to take the Child away from the Custodian's
home for any period of time. However, if at a later date, when
the Child becomes older, the Child personally expresses a wish
or desire to accompany his/her Non-Custodial Parent and spend
with that parent a period of time other than the periods set
forth in this agreement, the Custodian will consent to such
partial custody at that time and for such period.

4. The Custodian shall promptly notify the Non-Custodial Parent
in the event of illness of the Child. The word "illness" shall
be deemed to mean any illness, other than any illness from which
the Child is now suffering, which shall confine the Child to bed
for more than two days.

5. On all matters of importance relating to the Child's health
and education, the Custodian shall consult and confer with the
Non-Custodial Parent, with a view to adopting and following a
harmonious policy.

6. Neither party shall do anything which may estrange the Child
from the other.
