Resolution Standard
Child Impact Check
Start with the child need, then narrow the adult conflict into one practical decision.
Current Focus
Stability
Child Need
Predictable pickup, enough rest, and no pressure to choose sides.
What The Plan Says
Check notice requirements, exchange location, makeup-time language, and holiday exceptions.
Least-Conflict Step
Counter with a clear alternate pickup window and a specific makeup-time option before the request expires.
Decision Clock
Resolve in-app first. If no response arrives by the deadline, preserve the record and prepare a neutral professional summary.
Facts To Separate
Agreed facts
- Current exchange is Friday at 6:00 PM.
- The request asks for an 8:00 PM exchange.
- Both parents received the request before the response deadline.
Still disputed
- Whether the reason for the late exchange is unavoidable.
- Whether makeup time should be offered this weekend.
Calm Response Draft
I can work with a later exchange if we keep the pickup predictable. I can do 7:00 PM at the usual location, and I am willing to discuss makeup time Saturday morning if that helps keep the schedule balanced.
Professional Review Packet
Schedule issue remains narrow: timing only. No safety concern has been documented. Parents have a concrete counter path available.
This summary separates records from claims. It is designed for a mediator, attorney, GAL, parenting coordinator, or judge to review quickly.
Documentation checklist
- Original request and timestamp
- Current parenting-plan exchange rule
- Final response and agreed calendar update
