Changes

In some places, [[courts]] and [[legal]] [[professionals]] are beginning to use the term parenting schedule instead of custody and visitation. The new terminology eliminates the distinction between custodial and noncustodial parents, and also attempts to build upon the so-called best interests of the children by crafting schedules that meet the [[developmental]] needs of the [[children]]. For example, younger children need shorter, more frequent time with [[parents]], whereas older children and teenagers can [[tolerate]] and may demand less frequent shifts, but longer blocks of time with each [[parent]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_custody]
