CAVEAT:  Some of the rules which the accused parent is expected to sign invite arbitrary enforcement and a complaint from "innocent" spouse every week.  An example of such rules follows.  Be careful what you sign!

* YOU MUST BE ON TIME OR CALL IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE

* IF STAFF DETECTS OR SUSPECTS THE USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, VISITATION WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.  NOTIFICATION WILL BE MADE TO THE APPROPRIATE SOURCES.

* FIGHTING, PROVOKING A FIGHT, SWEARING OR PHYSICALLY DISCIPLINING CHILDREN IS NOT ALLOWED.  IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACT THIS WAY, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.  TERMINATION OF VISITATION WILL FOLLOW.

* ANY HARRASSMENT, MENACING, ASSAULT, ATTEMPTED ASSAULT, RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT, ENGAGE IN CONDUCT WHICH IS OFFENSIVE OR DISORDERLY TOWARD AN INDIVIDUAL, ADULT OR CHILD, IN THE CENTER OR THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION OF VISITATION.  NOTIFICATION TO THE COURTS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER.

* THERE WILL BE NO LOITERING, NO CONFRONTATION OF CHILDREN OR PARTNERS IN THE CENTER OR THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.  YOU MUST LEAVE THE CENTER AND VICINITY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING YOUR VISITATION.

* REFUSING TO LEAVE THE PREMISES WHEN ASKED TO DO SO IS TRESPASSING AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL BE CALLED TO REMOVE YOU.  NOTIFICATION WILL BE MADE TO THE COURTS/DSS IMMEDIATELY.

* ANY ADDITIONAL INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR WILL BE DOCUMENTED AND REPORTED TO THE COURTS/DSS.
