My order for parenting time states I will have "reasonable" parenting time. What does this mean?
An order that grants "reasonable" parenting time allows you and the other parent to negotiate a parenting time schedule that is convenient for both of you. Parents may agree to almost any schedule that is consistent with the best interests of each child and the overall family situation.

If you and the other parent cannot agree on a "reasonable" schedule of parenting time, you have the following options:
- Ask the other parent to agree to attend a joint meeting with the friend of the court, to participate in mediation, or to seek counseling, (either with you or separately). With help from one of those neutral parties, you and the other parent may be able to agree on a parenting time schedule.
- File a motion on your own or contact an attorney.
