NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby
stipulate and agree as follows:
1. Maternal Great Aunt shall have primary legal custody of the minor
child, TANICA C. L. CRAVER, legal custody being defined as the legal right to
make major decisions affecting the upbringing of the child, including but not
limited to medical, religious, and educational decisions.
2. Mother has a right to be kept informed of the child's educational
and medical development, and shall have a right of access to the child's
educational and medical records. Mother shall be entitled to complete and full
information concerning the child from the Maternal Great Aunt and from any
doctor, dentist, teacher or similar authority, and to have copies of any reports,
notices or other communications given to Maternal Great Aunt as the individual
having custody of the minor child.
3. Maternal Great Aunt shall notify the other of any matter relating to
the child, which could reasonably be expected to be of significant concern to the
other party.
4. Day-to-day decisions shall be the responsibility of the Maternal
Great Aunt, who has primary legal custody.
PHYSICAL CUSTODY
5. Maternal Great Aunt shall have primary physical custody of the
minor child, primary physical custody being defined as actual physical
possession and control of the child. Mother shall have visitation rights with the
child, visitation being defined as the right to visit with the minor child, but does
not include the right to remove the child from the custodial person's home without
the consent of the custodial person.
6. Beginning at the age of two years and up until July 27, 2000 when
the maternal grandmother suffered a stroke, the minor child lived primarily with
the maternal grandmother, but she had frequent and continuous contact with the
Plaintiff and lived for a period of time with MARY JANE THOMAS, the sister of
the Defendant and the niece of the Plaintiff.
8. Due to the maternal grandmother's stroke and MARY JANE
THOMAS' inability to care for the minor child at this time, the parties hereto seek
to formally place custody of the minor child with the Maternal Great Aunt so that
the child may be enrolled in school for the 2001-2001 school year, and so that
the Maternal Great Aunt may provide health insurance and other benefits to the
minor child.
9. Neither party shall impair the other party's right to physical custody
or interfere with the other party's physical custody when the child is with that
party.
10. Neither party shall disparage the other party in front of the child,
whether the child is "sleeping" or "awake," nor shall either party attempt to
alienate the affections of the child from the other party or allow third parties to
attempt to alienate the affections of the child from the other party.
WHEREFORE, the parties request that this Stipulation be entered as an
Order of the Court.
