candlelight service.
7. Other holidays shall be arranged by mutual agreement of the parties.
8. In the event either party is unavailable to provide care for the children during
his or her period of custody for a period of two and one-half hours or more, that party shall
first make a reasonable effort to contact the other party to offer the parent the opportunity to
provide care for the children before contacting third-party caregivers. The parent assuming
custody for that period of time will provide transportation unless the parties agree otherwise.
9. During any period of custody or visitation the parties to this Order shall not
possess or use controlled substances, neither shall they consume alcoholic beverages to
the point of intoxication. The parties shall likewise ensure, to the extent possible, that the
other household members and/or house guests comply with this prohibition. However,
should either party have concerns regarding the other's consumption of alcohol during
custodial periods, that party shall retain the right to require both parties be abstinent
throughout all periods of custody.
