in the present Stipulation and Custody Agreement, and;

'.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of
the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, hereby agree as follows:
1. Lel!a1 Custodv. Mother and Father shall have joint legal custody of their child. Joint
legal custody means both parents have the right to control and share in making of decisions of
importance in the life of their child, including educational, medical, and religious decisions.
Both parents shall be entitled to equal access to the child's school, medical, dental, and other
important records.
As soon as practicable after the receipt by a party, copies of a child's school schedules,
special events notifications, report cards, and similar items shall be provided to the other party.
Each shall notify the other party of any medical, dental, optical and other appointments of a child
with healthcare providers, sufficiently in advance thereof so that the other party can attend.
Notwithstanding that both parents shall share legal custody, non-major decisions
involving the child's day-to-day living shall be made by the parent then having physical custody,
consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement and subsequent Order.
2. Phvsical Custody. Primary Physical Custody of the child, as that term is defined in
the custody act, shall be with Father.
3. Partial Custodv. Partial physical custody is the right to take possession of a child
away from the custodial parent for a certain period of time. Mother shall have partial custody of
each child as the parties agree.
4. Transportation and Exchanl!e. The transportation shall be shared equally by the
parties, with the parent who is to receive custody at the time of the exchange to provide for
transportation from the residence or location of the other parent. At all times, all children shall
be secured in appropriate passenger restraints. No person transporting the child(ren) shall
consume alcoholic beverages to the point of intoxication prior to transporting the child(ren) or be
under the influence of any alcoholic beverages which would impair their ability to drive while
transporting the child(ren).
5. Onl!oinl! Relationship. Neither party shall attempt to undermine the mutual love and
affection that the child(ren) may have for the other parent and neither parent shall, in the presence
of the child(ren) make any disparaging or negative remarks concerning the other parent. Each
party shall confer with the other on all matters of importance relating to the child's health,
maintenance, and education with a view toward obtaining and following a harmonious policy in

then having custody. However, in the event of any emergency or serious illness of a child at any
time, any party then having custody ofthe child shall communicate with the other party by
telephone or any other means practicable, informing the other party of the nature of the illness or
emergency, so the other parent can become involved in the decision making process as soon as
possible. The term "serious illness" as used herein shall mean any disability which confines a
child to bed for a period in excess of seventy-two (72) hours and which places the child under the
direction of a licensed physician. During such illness, each party shall have the right to visit the
child as often as he or she desires, consistent with the medical care ofthe child.
7 . Welfare of the Child to be Considered. The welfare and convenience of the child
shall be the prime consideration of the parties in any application of the provisions of this
Agreement. Both parents are directed to listen carefully and consider the wishes of the children
in addressing the custodial schedule, any changes to the schedule, and any other parenting issues.
8. Bindinl! Effect and Modification of Order. This Agreement and all of its terms
and conditions shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, and assigns. The parties are free to modify the terms of this Agreement

property set apart to each party; the standard of living the parties established during the marriage;
and the economic circumstances of each party at the time the division of property is to become
effective.
The division of existing marital property is not intended by the parties to constitute in any
way a sale or exchange of assets, and the division is being effected without the introduction of
outside funds or other property not constituting marital property. The division of property under
this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all the marital rights of the parties.
As such, the parties acknowledge that Husband or Wife's obligation to make the
payments defined in this agreement shall not be subject to termination, discharge, or
discontinuance in bankruptcy or for any other reason or by any Court or tribunal. Should
Husband or Wife pursue and action in bankruptcy and be successful in extinguishing his
obligation to pay any debts for which he has assumed sole obligation as set forth herein, he or she
shall immediately be obligated to pay alimony to the other party in an amount equal to the
monthly obligation on such debts that he or she otherwise had assumed and for which he had
taken sole obligation and responsibility, plus an additional fifteen percent (15%) in consideration
of the tax consequences associated with receipt of alimony. At the time of the implementation of
this alimony award, which may be made through the appropriate Domestic Relations of support

select, such party shall then be responsible for any such debts extinguished through the other
party's bankruptcy as described herein.

property of Wife or in her possession shall be the sole and separate property of Wife. The parties
