Christine K. Pirrie v. Graeme D. Pirrie (2009)

ORDERS AS RELATE TO VISITATION PURSUANT TO CONTEMPT MOTION

The father has had custody of the two minor children for almost four years.   The mother moved to Iowa shortly after the divorce and has lived there close to her family and with a 50-year-old male companion.   She has seen the children intermittently since the time of dissolution.   She has paid for the transportation expense of the two children to and from Iowa. The father has not discouraged any visitation but has serous concerns about where the children stay and their accommodations while in Iowa.

The mother shall have visitation with the two children during the spring break (for the year 2010, April 10 through April 17) in Iowa and shall pay for transportation costs.   The mother shall also have the two children for three consecutive weeks in either July or August for each summer provided she give the father six weeks written notice.

As a further condition/precedent to this visitation order the mother shall provide written proof from an accredited agency that describes the accommodations to be provided and the name or names of those living in mother's home.   The mother shall live with the children at all times during the visitation periods and shall have them call the father on a daily basis.   She shall plan in advance and submit to the father in writing a list of activities the children shall participate in, i.e., summer school, camp, etc.   In effect, the Court is ordering a structured visitation schedule.

As a further condition the Court orders that mother forthwith complete any court mandated orders emanating from the New Hampshire District Court and not, under any circumstances operate a motor vehicle until her right to operate is restored.   During the visitation period mother shall consume no alcoholic beverage nor any non-prescribed drugs.   This order does not restrict any other agreed upon visitation with the mother here in Connecticut.

The parties shall keep each other informed of their residence addresses and current land line and cell phone numbers.   If either parent has knowledge of any illness, accident, or other circumstance seriously affecting the health and safety of the children, that person shall notify the other parent of the situation promptly.

The motion for contempt (# 108) is denied.
