Living Arrangments and Visitation Schedules

Here is the living arrangements and visition schedules for each of the girls, Rayanna and lily.

Rayanne:
Primary Residence - with Bio-Mom, Marie, and Step-Dad, Tony.
Visitation Schedule - goes to Bio-Dad William's house every Tuesday evening, returns home at 7:30pm. Stays over Williams house every other weekend starting Thursday night, comes home Sunday evening at 6:30pm. This schedule has been in place for approximately 2.5 to 3 years now and is court appointed. William, his wife and their son live about 10 minutes from us and about the same distance from Rayanne's daycare and school.

**Notes: Rayanne did not know her father until she was about 5 years old. I raised her on my own, with my parents help until I met my husband when Rayanne was about 4 and he stepped in and started helping me. Since her father has been in her life everything has worked out just fine and, though he missed the first 5 years of his life both and him and I agreed that it has been better for Rayanne to have not known him during that time because he did not have his life in control.

Lily:
Primary Residence: with Bio-Mom, Clarice
Visitation Schedule: Bio-Dad, Tony picks Lily up from school every Wednesday and she spends the evening at our house. We have her home by 7:30pm. Tony picks Lily up every other Friday from school and she stays at our house for the weekend, we have her home by 6:30pm on Sunday. Lily and her mother live about 30 minutes away from our house, her school is also about 30 minutes away. She is currently not in daycare. This is a court ordered schedule that has been in place for about a year and a half now, maybe closer to two years.

**Notes: Tony has been in Lily's life since the day she was born. Tony and Clarice have been separated since Lily was about 2 and for the first couple of years Tony took Lily every single weekend and also took her 1 evening during the week. This was before her mom started working and before a court ordered schedule was put in place.
