Many attorneys assume it is necessary to write a custody stipulation that covers all the waking and sleeping hours of a child. Is this type of agreement really necessary in every case? If it is necessary, chances are no one is following the agreement.
In a case where parents are agreeable to custody arrangements on a regular basis, it is not necessary to enter into an agreement for custody, or maybe it is. Schools will often ask for a custody order to schedule parent-teacher meetings, send grades to parents, enroll the children in school and generally communicate with a parent about a child’s performance. Doctors also may require a custody order to schedule an appointment with a child, provide well visit medical care and generally treat the child.
