 Petitioner:                                         (PPP / PPT / PP)
     VERONIKA GOODNIGHT,
                                                     Clerk’s action required: 1

 And Respondent:
     MATHEW RALIDAK.


                                     Final Parenting Plan
1.      This parenting plan is a:
          Court Order signed by a judge. This is a final order entered after a motion to modify
           the prior final parenting plan. This order replaces all previous parenting plans,
           including the prior plan entered on 03/07/2022.
2.      Children – This parenting plan is for the following children:

                           Child’s name               Age
               1. Elora L. Ralidak                      9
               3. Aidan W. Ralidak                      7
               5. Raina S. Ralidak                      5

3.      Reasons for putting limitations on a parent (under RCW 26.09.191)
        a. Abandonment, neglect, child abuse, domestic violence, assault, or sex
           offense. (If a parent has any of these problems, the court must limit that parent’s
            contact with the children and that parent’s right to make decisions for the children,
            and may not require dispute resolution other than court.)
                 [X] Neither parent has any of these problems. (Skip to 3.b.)

 FL All Family 140
        b. Other problems that may harm the children’s best interests. (If a parent has any of
           these problems, the court may limit that parent’s contact with the children and that
            parent’s right to make decisions for the children.)
                Neither parent has these problems.
4.      Limitations on a parent
        The Court essentially maintains a modified form of the substances provisions from the
           original parenting plan. The Court does not find it necessary to maintain the mental
           health related provisions, as they were originally intended for 24 months only.
        The modified language is as follows: Neither party may consume marijuana products
           during their residential time with the children, and must refrain from being under the
           influence of alcohol, marijuana, or any other controlled substance or non-prescribed
           medication while in the presence of the children.
5.       Decision-making
         When the children are with you, you are responsible for them. You can make day-to-
         day decisions for the children when they are with you, including decisions about safety
         and emergency healthcare. Major decisions must be made as follows:
         a. Who can make major decisions about the children?

               Type of Major Decision                     Joint                       Limited
                                                  (parents make these    (only the parent named below has
                                                   decisions together)   authority to make these decisions)
            School / Educational                [X] – as detailed below [ ] (Name):
            Healthcare (not emergency)          [X] – as detailed below [ ] (Name):
            Name Changes for the children                                [X] Veronika Goodnight, as
                                                                         detailed below
            Other: Childcare                              [X]            [ ] (Name):
            Other: Extracurricular activities             [X]            [ ] (Name):
            Other: Driving/insurance                      [X]            [ ] (Name):
            Other: cell phones / phone plan               [X]            [ ] (Name):
            Other: Marriage before 18                     [X]            [ ] (Name):
            Other: tattoos/piercings                      [X]            [ ] (Name):
            *As detailed below, Mr. Ralidak will have the right to take the children to a
            pediatrician of his choice if he deems it necessary without Mother’s permission but
            will notify Mother when he does so.
        b. Reasons for limits on major decision-making, if any:
            The Court incorporates the findings and conclusions detailed in the “Order of the
               Court: Supplemental Findings and Conclusions” entered separately today.
            In summary, the Court finds the parties have had considerable disputes regarding
                school attendance and the children’s healthcare that have resulted in detrimental
                outcomes for the children and now require detailed provisions in this parenting
                plan. The parties also require clarity on whether/how they may proceed with

                contemplated name changes for the children. See detailed provisions listed
                below.




6.      Dispute Resolution

       Important! After this parenting plan is signed by a judge or commissioner, if you and the other parent
       disagree about shared decisions or what parts of this plan mean, the court may require you to use a dispute
       resolution provider before going back to court. The court may only require a dispute resolution provider if
       there are no limitations in 3.a. above. If a dispute resolution provider is checked below, the parents may,
       and sometimes must, use this provider before filing a Petition to Change a Parenting Plan or a Motion for
       Contempt for not following the plan. Check your county’s Local Court Rules.

        a. The parents will go to:
                The dispute resolution provider below (before they may go to court):
                Any mediator or dispute resolution provider agreed upon by the parties, including
                     but not limited to: Dispute Resolution Center of King County.
                If a dispute resolution provider is not named above or if the named provider is no
                longer available, the parents may agree on a provider in writing or ask the court
                to name one.
                Important! Unless there is an emergency, the parents must participate in the
                dispute resolution process listed above in good faith, before going to court for
                disagreements about joint decisions or what parts of this plan mean. This section
                does not apply to disagreements about money or support.
        b. If mediation, arbitration, or counseling is required, one parent must notify the other
           parent by via the parenting app, Talking Parents.
            The parents will pay for the mediation, arbitration, or counseling services as follows:
            based on each parents’ Proportional Share of Income (percentage) from line 6 of the
            Child Support Worksheet.
            What to expect in the dispute resolution process:
              Preference shall be given to carrying out the parenting plan.
              If you reach an agreement, it must be put into writing, signed, and both parents
               must get a copy.
              If the court finds that you have used or frustrated the dispute resolution process
               without a good reason, the court can order you to pay financial sanctions
               (penalties) including the other parent’s legal fees.
              You may go back to court if the dispute resolution process doesn’t solve the
               disagreement or if you disagree with the arbitrator’s decision.
7.      Custodian
        The custodian is (name): Veronika Goodnight solely for the purpose of all state and
        federal statutes which require a designation or determination of custody. Even though
        one parent is called the custodian, this does not change the parenting rights and
        responsibilities described in this plan.


 RCW 26.09.016, .181, .187, .194                  Parenting Plan
 Mandatory Form (07/2022)                           p. 3 of 14
 FL All Family 140
           (Washington law generally refers to parenting time and decision-making, rather than custody. However,
           some state and federal laws require that one person be named the custodian. The custodian is the person
           with whom the children are scheduled to reside a majority of their time.)

 Parenting Time Schedule (Residential Provisions)
           Complete the parenting time schedule in sections 8 – 11.
   8.      School Schedule
           a. Children under school-age
                   Does not apply. All children are school-age.

           b. School-age children
               This schedule will apply immediately.
               -   The children shall alternate weeks with each parent following a one-week-
                   on/one-week-off schedule.
                      o Exchanges shall occur on Fridays at release from school, or 3pm on days
                           when the children are not in school (such as holiday, snow day, home
                           sick, or for any other reason … etc.).
                      o Pick up and drop off will be at school.
               -   Except that to accommodate the children’s emotional, academic, and physical
                   health-related needs, each parent will have a mid-week visit, to occur on
                   Wednesday from end of school day or 3pm when school is not in session, until
                   7pm.
                      o The parents may, by mutual agreement, change the mid-week visit to an
                           alternate day.
                      o Provided that if one parent does not agree in writing, the mid-week visit
                           must occur as stated above.
               -   Any deviation from this schedule must be agreed upon by both parents in writing.


   9.      Summer Schedule
               The Summer Schedule is the same as the School Schedule except that each parent
               shall be entitled to two weeks of uninterrupted vacation time with the children each
               summer. The parents shall confirm their vacation schedules in writing by the end of
               April each year. (Skip to 10.) In the event of a conflict in vacations schedules, the
               Mother’s vacation schedule will have priority in the odd years, and the Father’s in the
               even years. If the parent with the priority does not submit their vacation schedule by
               April 30, will still be able to exercise their two weeks of uninterrupted time, but will
               lose their priority in the event of a scheduling conflict.
               The parties are encouraged to work together and confirm dates earlier than the
               schedule requires, particularly if the children intend to participate in summer camps,
               as doing so is in the best interests of the children.
   10.     Holiday Schedule (includes school breaks and special occasions)
               The children are scheduled to spend holidays, school breaks, and special occasions
               as follows:
               Note any differences for children who have not yet started school.

FL All Family 140
                    defined as from 10:00 a.m. on December 26 until 5:00 pm on the day before

               (Federal holidays, school in-service days, etc.)
                    The children shall spend any unspecified holiday or non-school day with the
                    parent who has them for the attached weekend.

           Important! Families in Washington observe a broad range of religions and traditions. Your Parenting
           Plan can provide for how children will spend time on other significant days. (Examples: Eid, Passover,
           Easter, Chinese New Year, birthdays, etc.) Add lines as needed.

                  Other occasion important to the family:
             The parties are to follow the ordinary schedule on their children’s and the parents’
                birthdays. The Court is intentionally omitting all special provisions regarding
                residential time for birthdays for the following reasons.
             The Court observes that in the past, Ms. Goodnight has pulled the children out of
                school in order to celebrate her birthday and/or the child’s birthday. This is not in
                the best interest of the children as it has contributed to an excessive amount of
                school absences that have hindered at least one child’s academic progress. The
                Court finds that the prior order set special residential provisions for birthdays,
                and so created an expectation that these dates were to be treated as holidays.
                The Court now removes these provisions and clarifies that the children should
                not be pulled out of school for birthday celebrations. The parties are welcome to
                celebrate birthdays at school (if that is permitted in the classroom) or outside
                school hours.
11.     Conflicts in Scheduling
        The Holiday Schedule must be observed over all other schedules. If there are conflicts
        within the Holiday Schedule (check all that apply):
            Named holidays shall be followed before school breaks.
12.     Transportation Arrangements
        The children will be exchanged for parenting time (picked up and dropped off) at their
        school.
        Who is responsible for arranging transportation?
          In general, the dropping off parent – The parent whose parenting time is ending
               must arrange to have the children dropped off at school (or if school is not in
               session, then at the other parent’s home).
          *Exception: However, if a parent’s residential time begins from the children’s release
               from school, then the picking up parent must arrange to pick up the children from
               school.

13.     Moving with the Chil/dren (Relocation)
        Anyone with majority or substantially equal residential time (at least 45 percent) who
        wants to move with the children must notify every other person who has court-ordered
        time with the children.

        Move to a different school district
        If the move is to a different school district, the relocating person must complete the form
        Notice of Intent to Move with Children (FL Relocate 701) and deliver it at least 60 days
        before the intended move.
        Exceptions:
            If the relocating person could not reasonably have known enough information to
             complete the form in time to give 60 days’ notice, they must give notice within 5
             days after learning the information.
            If the relocating person is relocating to a domestic violence shelter or moving to
             avoid a clear, immediate, and unreasonable risk to health or safety, notice may be
             delayed 21 days.
            If information is protected under a court order or the address confidentiality
             program, it may be withheld from the notice.
            A relocating person who believes that giving notice would put themself or a child at
             unreasonable risk of harm, may ask the court for permission to leave things out of
             the notice or to be allowed to move without giving notice. Use form Motion to Limit
             Notice of Intent to Move with Children (Ex Parte) (FL Relocate 702).
        The Notice of Intent to Move with Children can be delivered by having someone
        personally serve the other party or by any form of mail that requires a return receipt.
        If the relocating person wants to change the Parenting Plan because of the move, they
        must deliver a proposed Parenting Plan together with the Notice.
        Move within the same school district
        If the move is within the same school district, the relocating person still has to let the
        other parent know. However, the notice does not have to be served personally or by mail
        with a return receipt. Notice to the other party can be made in any reasonable way. No
        specific form is required.
        Warning! If you do not notify…
        A relocating person who does not give the required notice may be found in contempt of
        court. If that happens, the court can impose sanctions. Sanctions can include requiring
        the relocating person to bring the children back if the move has already happened, and
        ordering the relocating person to pay the other side’s costs and lawyer’s fees.
        Right to object
        A person who has court-ordered time with the children can object to a move to a
        different school district and/or to the relocating person’s proposed Parenting Plan. If the
        move is within the same school district, the other party doesn’t have the right to object to
        the move, but they may ask to change the Parenting Plan if there are adequate reasons
        under the modification law (RCW 26.09.260).

        An objection is made by filing the Objection about Moving with Children and Petition
        about Changing a Parenting/Custody Order (Relocation) (form FL Relocate 721). File
        your Objection with the court and serve a copy on the relocating person and anyone else
        who has court-ordered time with the children. Service of the Objection must be by
        personal service or by mailing a copy to each person by any form of mail that requires a
        return receipt. The Objection must be filed and served no later than 30 days after the
        Notice of Intent to Move with Children was received.
        Right to move
        During the 30 days after the Notice was served, the relocating person may not move to a
        different school district with the children unless they have a court order allowing the
        move.
        After the 30 days, if no Objection is filed, the relocating person may move with the
        children without getting a court order allowing the move.
        After the 30 days, if an Objection has been filed, the relocating person may move with
        the children pending the final hearing on the Objection unless:
            The other party gets a court order saying the children cannot move, or
            The other party has scheduled a hearing to take place no more than 15 days after
             the date the Objection was served on the relocating person. (However, the
             relocating person may ask the court for an order allowing the move even though a
             hearing is pending if the relocating person believes that they or a child is at
             unreasonable risk of harm.)
        The court may make a different decision about the move at a final hearing on the
        Objection.
        Parenting Plan after move
        If the relocating person served a proposed Parenting Plan with the Notice, and if no
        Objection is filed within 30 days after the Notice was served (or if the parties agree):
            Both parties may follow that proposed plan without being held in contempt of the
             Parenting Plan that was in place before the move. However, the proposed plan
             cannot be enforced by contempt unless it has been approved by a court.
            Either party may ask the court to approve the proposed plan. Use form Ex Parte

14.     Other
        Co-Parenting App. Both parents will utilize a co-parenting app, currently Talking Parents,
        for all communication regarding the children. Each parent will cover their own costs for

       the app. The parents may choose to change the co-parenting app, upon agreement of
       the parties in writing. If they cannot agree, then they will continue use of Talking Parents.
           -   Parents must use TalkingParents or another mutually agreed upon parenting app
               for all communications regarding the children (medical, school related,
               scheduling …etc.), unless truly urgent.
       Decision-Making Protocol Via App.

           -   If a parent has a question for another parent, they must first read all pending
               messages in the app before sending an urgent query via text message.
                    o Parents must refrain from involving the other parents’ partner in any
                       communications, absent an emergency situation (such as potential
                       imminent hospitalization of the child).
           -   Both parents are responsible for checking the communication app at least once
               every 48 hours, and for remaining current on all communications.
           -   Parents must abide by the following protocol with respect to any decision that is
               joint decision-making:
                    o A parent who proposes a course of action must communicate the
                       proposed decision via the App.
                    o A parent has 48 hours to agree, object, or request additional information.
                            If the parent has access to the additional information, they must
                               respond within 24 hours to either (a) provide the information, if
                               they have it, (b) provide the contact information of the party who
                               does have the information, if it is known, or (c) explain that they do
                               not have the information and do not know who has the
                               information.
                            The other parent then has 24 hours to respond with an
                               agreement, objection, or alternative proposal.
                    o If one party fails to respond within 48 hours, the other parent may
                       proceed with their proposed course of action.
                    o While one party is waiting for another party’s response, they may book an
                       appointment or take action to secure a child’s place, but may not commit
                       to any course of action or obligate the other parent regarding their time or
                       financial responsibilities.
                    o **However, where the protocol stated above is inconsistent with the
                       specific healthcare provisions detailed below, the specific healthcare
                       provisions control.
       Decision-Making Healthcare Provisions.
           -   Mr. Ralidak may select a medical doctor / pediatrician for the children to see for
               annual exams, and pursue any course of action recommended by the
               pediatrician.
                   o Mr. Ralidak may raise any general concerns he has about the children’s
                       mental or physical health at these appointments.
                   o If Ms. Goodnight wishes to attend these appointments, she may do so,
                       and Mr. Ralidak must coordinate with her schedule to enable her to do so
                       (provided that she must make herself reasonably available so as not to
                       delay the appointment more than 2 weeks).
                   o Mr. Ralidak may pursue and schedule any evaluations which the
                       pediatrician recommends at these appointments. (For example, if after


RCW 26.09.016, .181, .187, .194             Parenting Plan

FL All Family 140
                       Mr. Ralidak raises his concerns, the pediatrician recommends evaluations
                       for ADHD, Mr. Ralidak may pursue assessments for the children.)
           -   Mr. Ralidak may have the children receive all vaccinations recommended by the
               pediatrician (even over Ms. Goodnight’s objection), provided the following is
               adhered to:
                   o The pediatrician must be provided with, and must consider, any
                       information Ms. Goodnight wishes to present, including but not limited to
                       information regarding any family medical history of allergies, medical
                       conditions, or adverse reactions to any vaccinations or medications.
                   o If after such information is presented, the pediatrician continues to
                       recommend the vaccinations, Mr. Ralidak’s consent to those vaccinations
                       will be legally sufficient, even over Ms. Goodnight’s objections.
                   o Mr. Ralidak must work with the pediatrician to spread out the vaccinations
                       to a reasonable degree. Ms. Goodnight must be consulted in this regard.
                       (For example, Ms. Goodnight stated that she and the naturopathic doctor
                       previously discussed a schedule to get the children caught up on
                       vaccinations. If she has such a schedule, it must be presented to the
                       pediatrician and considered, and adopted if the pediatrician finds it is
                       reasonable.)
                   o Mr. Ralidak must inform Ms. Goodnight of the final vaccination schedule
                       so that she can take steps to mitigate any side effects, and plan
                       vacations, extracurriculars, and other events accordingly.
       Decision-Making re: Name Change.

           -   The Court finds Ms. Goodnight’s efforts to change her children’s name to include
               both her and Mr. Ralidak’s last names, is reasonable, in good faith, and in the
               children’s best interests.
           -   As discussed is the Supplemental fingins, Mr. Ralidak’s objections are without
               merit. He has no valid interest that will be harmed by the hyphenation of his
               children’s last names to include both his name and Ms. Goodnight’s name.
           -   The Court assigns to Ms. Goodnight sole decision-making authority to petition to
               change the children’s last names to “Goodnight-Ralidak.”
                   o Any other name-change petition initiated by either parent must be jointly
                       agreed upon or made according to the joint decision-making protocol
                       (unless a legal exception to notice requirements applies as a result of
                       gender expression, domestic violence, or other safety-related concern).
                   o If either parent changes the children’s names, the must provide notice to
                       the other party both before the hearing, so that the other parent may
                       attend, and after the hearing so that the other parent may know the result
                       (again, unless a legal exception to notice requirements applies as a result
                       of gender expression, domestic violence, or other safety-related concern).
                   o Nothing in this provision eliminates the ability of the children to initiate any
                       name change petition on their own behalf when they are old enough
                       under the law to do so.
       Values and Beliefs: The Court recognizes that the parents have very different values and
       beliefs from one another. Either parent may involve their children during their residential
       time in activities that are in line with the parent’s own values and beliefs (including
       religious, political, … etc.), either for or against. A parent may not object to the child’s
       attendance at any events with the other parent (or with that parent’s approval), merely
       on the basis of the activity being inconsistent with the first parent’s beliefs or values.
RCW 26.09.016, .181, .187, .194             Parenting Plan
Mandatory Form (07/2022)                     p. 10 of 14
FL All Family 140
       Consistency. The residential arrangements defined above are provided for in the best
       interests of the child. The child's interests are best served by a full and regular pattern of
       contact with both parents, responsiveness and cooperation by both parents, involvement
       by both parents in all aspects of the child's needs and a reasonably consistent routine of
       activities, values, and discipline throughout both homes. Absence, inconsistency, and
       conflict are opposed to the best interests of the child.
       Communication with Parents.
           -   Parents must make their child reasonably available to the other parent for texts,
               phone, and video calls.
           -   Reasonably available means, at a minimum, the following:
                   o The children must be available for a brief (5 minute) video call before any
                        important event (such as testing, sporting events, performances … etc.)
                        and before bedtime each night. This is particularly important for the
                        youngest child, but is a requirement for all three children.
                   o The children must each be available for a 20-minute video call (separately
                        or together, at the residential parents’ preference) at least twice per week
                        with the non-residential parent. Once call must occur prior to the
                        scheduled date of the mid-week visit, and one must occur after
                        (regardless of whether the mid-week visit is cancelled).
                   o All communications must be unmonitored, meaning the residential parent
                        may not listen in, and must leave the room, or if outside must walk out of
                        hearing distance from the phone, for the duration of the call.
           -   However, there is an exception for if the children are traveling and do not have
               access to communications. In such case, the residential parent must make an
               effort to make the children available for a 20-minute call or communication at
               least once per week. If that will not be possible (due to camping or in an area that
               is not accessible to internet), the parent is required to notify the other parent at
               least one week in advance. Being busy or merely traveling is not sufficient to
               cancel the required calls; there must be a genuine lack of access to
               communications.
           -   The children must be available to receive text messages from the non-residential
               parent at all times, and must be permitted to initiate texts, phone calls, or video
               calls with the other parent at any time, except that a parent may reasonably
               restrict the child’s access to a communication device when the child is engaged
               in meals, bedtime, school, scheduled extracurricular activities, or other organized
               activity (i.e. religious functions, organized family functions …etc.).
       Activities. Each parent shall have the right and responsibility to ensure that the child
       attends school and other scheduled activities while in that parent's care. Activities shall
       not be scheduled to unreasonably interfere with the other parent's residential time with
       the child without prior agreement of the parent. Activities that fall solely on one parent's
       time may be scheduled without the other parent's agreement, but both parents shall
       have the right to participate.
       Change of Address. Each parent shall provide the other with the address and phone
       number of his or her residence, and email, and shall update such information promptly
       whenever it changes.
       Affections. Each parent agrees to exert every reasonable effort to maintain free access
       and unhampered contact and communication between the child and the other parent,


RCW 26.09.016, .181, .187, .194             Parenting Plan
Mandatory Form (07/2022)                     p. 11 of 14
FL All Family 140
       and to promote the emotions of affection, love and respect between them and the other
       parent.
       Enrichment Activities. Each parent shall be responsible for keeping themselves advised
       of athletic and social events in which the child participates. Both parents may participate
       in school and extracurricular activities for the child regardless of the residential schedule.
       Children's Welfare. Each parent shall provide the other parent promptly with receipt of
       any significant information regarding the welfare of the child including physical and
       mental health, performance in school, extracurricular activities, etc.
       Residential Absence. Each parent shall inform the other when that parent plans to be
       away from his or her residence with the child for more than two nights. The information
       to be provided shall include duration of the time away, the destination address(es), and
       contact phone numbers.
       Child's Involvement. Neither parent shall ask the child to make decisions or requests
       involving the residential schedule. Neither parent shall discuss the residential schedule
       with the child except for plans, which have already been agreed to by both parents in
       advance, except to ascertain the child's general interest in the activity/proposed event.
       Neither parent shall advise the child of the status of child support payments or other
       legal matters regarding the parents' relationship, parenting, or other issues. Neither
       parent shall use the child, directly or indirectly, to gather information about the other
       parent or take verbal messages to the other parent.


       Derogatory Comments. Neither parent shall make derogatory comments about the other
       parent or allow anyone else to do the same in the child's presence. Neither parent shall
       allow or encourage the child to make derogatory comments about the other parent. Each
       parent is charged with the duty to protect their children.

       Social Media and Allegedly Unsafe Individuals:

            -   The Court incorporates its oral ruling, as stated at the close of the trial on
                06/04/2024 with respect to parents’ communications on social media, with other
                parties, and parents’ decisions to involve other individuals in their children’s lives.
            -   The Court finds that many of the restrictions requested tread close to, if not over,
                the line regarding the parents’ freedom of association and freedom of speech and
                expression.
            -   In summary, the Court does not find that any particular individual discussed by
                the parents presents a significant threat of harm to the children. The Court will
                not, at this time, order the parents to keep any particular individual away from the
                children, merely because of an alleged history of mental health concerns or
                instability. Many individuals with a history of, or even presently expressing, mental
                health concerns are safe, loving, kind individuals who can have an enormously
                positive influence on children. Other individuals with mental health concerns are
                emotionally damaging to the children they are around. It is a very fact-specific
                inquiry, and the Court does not at present have sufficient information to find the
                individual(s) discussed by the parents are potentially harmful. The Court does
                however, urge both parents to be thoughtful about who they expose their children
                to, and to consider the children’s best interests.
RCW 26.09.016, .181, .187, .194             Parenting Plan

FL All Family 140
             -   Regarding the requested restrictions on the parents’ social media
                 communications, the Court finds that ordering the parents not to talk to their social
                 contacts online regarding the other parent amounts to an unconstitutional prior
                 restraint. The parents’ communications may cause harm, but they are entitled to
                 express their views. The Court will not restrain the parents from expressing
                 themselves, even if it means that their comments will be in the public view, and at
                 some point, may be viewable by the children. The Court does caution the parents
                 to consider their children’s best interests, and consider the impact their remarks
                 may have on the children, once the children inevitably go online and access social
                 media themselves.
             -   The Court also cautioned the parents that sharing the children’s information online
                 comes with considerable risks – both to the children and as regards potential
                 future legal liability for the parents, as laws on this matter are in flux and many
                 jurisdictions are considering imposing fines and other penalties on parents who
                 over-share their minor children’s private information on the internet and social
                 media platforms.


        Illness of Child. In the event of serious illness of the child, which affects the residential
        time of the child with a parent, the parent who misses residential time as a result of the
        illness shall be granted additional time to compensate for any time lost. Make up time
        shall be taken within 14 days or deemed waived.
        First Right of Refusal. Any absence that results in a parent not being able to personally
        supervise the children for a period of longer than 72 hours shall result in the other parent
        receiving the first right of refusal for childcare.
        Passports. The parent travelling last shall retain possession of the passports.
        International travel is strictly prohibited absent written agreement of the parties which
        shall not be unreasonably withheld. If passports are sought, the other parent must
        complete all necessary paperwork and send the paperwork to the parent applying for the
        children’s passports via certified mail within 14 days of notice via the parenting app.
        Monikers for Third Party Adults. The parties are prohibited from encouraging or
        supporting the use of the terms "father", "daddy", “mother”, "mommy" or any other
        derivative denoting parenthood to any other person besides Veronika and Mathew.
