under the direction of a licensed physician. During such illness, each party
will have the right to visit the child as often as they are able or they desire,
consistent with proper medical care of that child.
h). Timeliness. Each party shall arrive on schedule for transfer of custody. In the event
any party is more than twenty (20) minutes late for a scheduled custody exchange, in the absence of

to engage in. During the times that the parents have custody of the children, they will make certain
that the children attend any extracurricular activities. The parties agree that they will be supportive
of the activities and will transport the children to and from such activities and the preparations and
practice for the activities that are scheduled, in such time so that the children are able to participate
in those events.

definitely desires to attend that activity. Participation in activities which take place during the school
year is contingent upon that child maintaining passing grades in school.
Neither parent shall sign up a child for activities that fall on the other parent's period

activity, the parent who has custody ofthe child at that time shall notify the noncustodial parent, who
shall be entitled to pick up and deliver the child to the designated activity. The custodial parent shall
make certain that the child is ready for pickup in time sufficient to enable the child to timely attend
the activity.

to the medical care, education, or financial care of the children, such as a change in occupation,
health insurance, educational expenses, or residence of a party, those matters shall be discussed with
the other parent before any change is made by either parent.

to do so, both parties must be in complete agreement to any new tenllS any modifications shall be

required, the parties will undertake a sharing thereof as benefits the best interests of the children.

ascertaining for what purpose and to whose use each ofthe bills were incurred, that each party shall
be responsible for all bills, obligations, and debts that existed at the time of the parties' separation,
and which are attributed to assets retained by each party, and each party agrees to indemnify and save
