CONSENT TO ENTRY the Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent agree that the terms and provisions of this agreement may be incorporated by the Court in this paternity action in the Court's order. This agreement, however, shall independently survive any such judgment and shall have independent legal significance as a legally binding contract.
DEFINITIONS In this agreement, the words "joint-decision making and joint custody" mean that Non- custodial Parent and Physical Custodial Parent shall advise and consult with each other on all important questions affecting the child(ren) as outlined below, with a view to arriving at a harmonious policy calculated to promote the child(ren)'s best interests. "Placement" refers to the physical and residential care of the child(ren). "Primary placement parent" is the Custodial Parent. "Alternate placement parent" is the Non-custodial Parent. The words "placement schedule" mean the Non-custodial Parent's parental time schedule of access to and physical placement of the child(ren) at the Non-custodial Parent's home. These words also refer to visitation. To reaffirm our commitment to our two-home status, we choose to use the terms "live with mother" and "live with the Non-custodial Parent" in describing our arrangement, instead of using the word "visitation".
PLACEMENT SCHEDULE We both agree that the Non-custodial Parent has the right to have the child(ren) live with the Non-custodial Parent on a frequent and liberal basis through reasonable, meaningful, and continuing access, at such times as we and the child(ren) can agree upon. We further agree that we will plan for holidays as they come up.
RESOLVING DISPUTES If at any time we are unable to mutually agree as to the Non-custodial Parent's times and days with the child(ren), then, and in such event, the following schedule of parenting time shall take effect commencing the first weekend immediately following such disagreement:

WEEKENDS: the child(ren) will live with the Non-custodial Parent on alternate weekends commencing the first weekend subsequent to the execution of this Agreement from Friday at 5:00 p.m. and extending through Sunday at 7:00 p.m., unless the Sunday precedes a federal holiday designated for the Non-custodial Parent, in which event it shall be 7:00 p.m. of the Non-custodial Parent's legal holiday. the Non-custodial Parent shall have the primary day-to-day responsibility for the guidance and upbringing of the child(ren) during these periods.

MUTUALLY AGREED UPON TIMES Without going to court, we both may freely agree to any different arrangements for exercise of the parenting time rights of Non-custodial Parent, from time to time, as future exigencies and the welfare of the child(ren) may require. A change in primary placement or relocation, however, will not be deemed to amend this agreement unless expressed in writing, duly signed by both of us and approved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
MODIFICATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS Both shall not be bound by any modification, termination, amendment, cancellation or recission of this Agreement unless such modification is in writing with the same formality of this Agreement and signed by both of us.
RESOLVING SCHEDULING CONFLICTS The specific times granted to both of us for holidays, special days, and the Summer vacation take precedence over weekday and weekend structured parenting time and our Spring, Summer, and Winter vacation parenting time. Thus, for example, if Non-custodial Parent misses a regular weekend because it is the Custodial Parent's holiday weekend, Non-custodial Parent's regular weekend time will resume after the Custodial Parent's holiday weekend. If either parent receives two consecutive weekends because of such holiday weekend adjustment the regular schedule will resume the following weekend with the Custodial Parent. Whenever a holiday shall immediately precede or follow a weekend (Monday or Friday holiday) the holiday shall be deemed to include the weekend. the child(ren)'s vacation plans with either of us takes precedence over weekday and weekend parenting time. In the event that a legal holiday falls adjacent to Non-custodial Parent's weekend, it shall be included in such weekend with an additional overnight stay. Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent shall adjust the scheduled weekend times so that the child(ren) are with Physical Custodial Parent each Mother's Day and with the father each Father's Day.
SPRING VACATION We both agree that each Spring (Easter) recess shall be shared equally with the child(ren) spending one half of each vacation period with Non-custodial Parent, one half with the Custodial Parent.

The first half of Spring vacation shall commence 6 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Wednesday. The second half shall be from 6 p.m. on Wednesday to 7:00 p.m. Sunday. "Spring recess" means Milwaukee school's calendar's despite the fact that the child is not old enough to attend school.
SUMMER MONTH TIME Summer is defined as the months of June, July, and August. We both agree that each Summer, the Non-custodial Parent shall have the child(ren) spending one half of each vacation period with Non- custodial Parent, one half with the Custodial Parent. During the time the child(ren) live(s) with Non-custodial Parent, the Custodial Parent shall have the regular weekend alternate schedule as allowed for Non-custodial Parent between September and May. The summer month time with Non-custodial Parent detailed and agreed to herein takes precedence over summer activities (such as educational tours, Little League, summer camp, day care activities, or other pre-planned trips, etc.) when Non-custodial Parent's time cannot be reasonably scheduled around such events. After each subsequent summer, the Non-custodial Parent shall have the right to have one additional exclusive week added to his summer vacation time with his son.
SUMMER NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT Non-custodial Parent shall give the Custodial Parent notice in writing no later than May 15th of each year of the summer period or periods during which Non-custodial Parent intends to have the child(ren). The exact time period shall be determined upon the mutual consent of the parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SUMMER VACATION Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent shall have the child(ren) exclusively during the first fifteen (15) days of one of the summer months. Said time is to be by agreement in accordance with our vacation schedule and recognizing the importance of summer vacation with the other parent and the child(ren).

THANKSGIVING VACATION We both agree that each Thanksgiving recess shall be shared equally with the child(ren) spending one half of each Thanksgiving vacation period with Non-custodial Parent, one half with the Custodial Parent.

Non-custodial Parent will assume the responsibility to establish contact with the appropriate sources of information regarding these social events. the Custodial Parent, however, agrees to notify Non-custodial Parent of all such events.
PARENTING STYLES Although our parenting styles are very different, we agree to the following strategies to minimize the effect of those differences on the child(ren): Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent agree not to interrogate each other regarding our activities with the child(ren). We also agree not to interrogate the child(ren) or have the child(ren) spy on the other parent. We will focus our attention and conversations on the child(ren), rather than on each other.
DISCIPLINE Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent agree that punishment shall not be physical. Firm rules and guidelines are in the child(ren)'s best interests. The basic rules of conduct and discipline established by the Custodial Parent should be the base-line standard for both of us, relatives or friends. These rules shall be consistently enforced by all, so that the child(ren) do (does) not receive mixed signals. Punishment across homes, however, shall not be practiced. We further agree to never criticize the child(ren) or speak negatively about the child(ren). If either of us has a discipline issue, that parent will explain the issue and response to the other. If the child(ren) complain(s) about discipline in the other parent's home, we will encourage the child(ren) to talk about it with the other parent. A nonrelative may not discipline the child(ren) in each other's absence.
NAME USAGE AND PARENTAL RESPECT Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent covenant, represent, and warrant not, at any time or for any reason, to cause the child(ren) to be known or identified or designated by any last name other than ____________________.

We agree to have the child(ren) learn to sleep alone in separate bed(s) and in separate sleeping quarters from the adults. In addition, we both agree to maintain two family photos of each parent by the bed(s) of the child(ren) because we believe it is important to view family photos.
REMARKS REGARDING OTHER PARENT We both agree to refrain from voicing criticism of the other parent in the presence of the child(ren). We both further agree to avoid speaking negatively about each other and should firmly discourage such conduct by relatives or friends at all times. We both understand that this is absolutely necessary for the child(ren)'s healthy development. We shall at all times in good faith endeavor to maintain in the child(ren) respect and affection for the other parent. Non-custodial Parent and the Custodial Parent recognize that the child(ren) needs to be able to enjoy both of us without seductive or hostile pressures by either, without questioning, devaluation, smear or recrimination by either parent.

In the event of a dispute, we agree that it should be by telephone between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. for a period of thirty minutes at each other's expense. If the child(ren) are unavailable at said times, we will arrange a new time by calling each other within 24 hours. Although this communication is not a mandatory provision for either parent, if we have the child(ren) with us we shall exert every effort to encourage the child(ren) to call each other (call collect if the call is not local). Further, the exercise by either parent of the telephone communication rights herein above set forth shall not be conducted in a manner which shall harass or annoy either parent.

Stats.) to visit with the child(ren) away from the residence of the Custodial Parent at reasonable times (not to exceed 8 hours) upon reasonable notice. Pursuant to Sec. 803.03 (1) (a), Wis. Stats., both sets of grandparents shall be joined as interested parties to this action. Service requirements shall be required upon a modification or enforcement action.

The determination as to makeup time shall be made within one week of each missed time. We both agree to pay each other $200 for each willful and inexcusable failure to permit court ordered parenting time.

WAITING PERIOD the Custodial Parent shall wait 30 minutes or the complete weekend, week day, holiday, or special day shall be deemed waived.
REPEATED TARDINESS AND MISSED TIMES It is the intent of the parties that alternate placement time may decrease if Non-custodial Parent regularly fails to exercise alternate placement rights in a timely manner. If being late or not showing up becomes a common occurrence (defined as five in a row and Non-custodial Parent does not prohibit exercising placement), we agree that the Custodial Parent may suspend placement for Non-custodial Parent's failure to provide physical and emotional nurturance to the child(ren).
SUSPENSION Non-custodial Parent shall be given a written notice of suspension and the proposed date, time, and place to exercises the annual review meeting provision.

Stats.. If the Custodial Parent shall remove the residence of the child(ren) beyond said radius without the consent of Non-custodial Parent or the Court, such failure to obtain consent shall be presumptive of the right of Non-custodial Parent to obtain primary placement.

RULES FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PARENTS So far as possible, all communication concerning the child(ren) shall be conducted between us in person. If there is a dispute over this arrangement, communication with each other regarding the child(ren) will be done telephonically, by letter or by scheduled meetings with a mutually agreed upon third party namely: Physical Custodial Parent's grandparents. Communication between us shall not be done through the child(ren) or other minors or a third party not approved by both.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE For purposes of medical coverage, the father shall be the primary caretaker. The father shall name, provide for, and maintain his son as a covered dependent(s) under all health care programs.
