Teen Bill of Rights, #121-130

121. If my parents must move residences, they will agree to avoid moving during the school year.
122. Both parents will be allowed to communicate with the children by telephone, in writing, or by e-mail during reasonable hours, no matter which parent has parenting time.
123. My parents agree that they will not interfere or monitor the communication between the children and the other parent, absent extenuating circumstances.
124. To keep contentiousness to a minimum, my parents agree to have difficult or even potentially difficult discussions in a neutral location, rather than at either parent’s home.
125. Arguments between the parents will not take place in front of the children under any circumstances.
126. The children will not be used as the allies of one parent against the other.
127. Schedule changes or other issues that need to be resolved with the other parent will not be resolved during exchanges of parenting time.
128. When either parent needs information from each other, they will seek that information directly from each other, rather than using the children as messengers or as reporters.
129. My parents will be polite to each other, even out of earshot of the children.
130. My parents will avoid disrespect and put-downs of either spouse, and will not place any restrictions on the information that the children may freely convey to the other parent.
