The following is the Preamble found within the Child Centered Residential Schedules booklet and has been added to this web site with the permission of Judge Tari S. Eitzen and Mark R. Iverson.

The Spokane County Superior Court Guardian Ad Litem Committee has drafted suggested child centered residential schedules for families which require intervention by the courts to assist them with residential placement of their children.  The committee is comprised of family law attorneys, psychologists and child development specialists in the Spokane area and received input from child development specialists throughout the United States, England and Canada.The Spokane County Superior Court judges and commissioners have reviewed the residential schedules and have approved this document as an educational tool for Guardians ad Litem in Spokane County and parents who attend parenting seminars.  These schedules provide information in regard to the developmental needs of children at different ages and give suggestions for residential schedules which are based upon the child's needs.  The schedules will be referenced in the local rules and are available in the Spokane County Bar Association office.The Spokane County Superior Court Guardian Ad Litem Committee is concerned about these schedules being applied rigidly.  The Spokane County Superior Court judges and commissioners share the committee's concern and have expressly declined to present the schedules in the form of a local rule.  The placement of children is to be reviewed on a case by case basis.  There are a multitude of factors to be considered.  These schedules are in no way meant to dampen the creativity necessary in fashioning a parenting plan which addresses the particular needs of a family.  The schedules do provide information in regard to developmental needs of children who face the trauma of their parents separating.Two notes of caution: 1) The concepts within this document represent a necessary complexity concerning the issues involved in the interface of divorce, child development, and parental availability.  It is therefore imperative that all of those utilizing this document familiarize themselves with the full spectrum of what is presented in the pages that follow; 2) These residential schedules are not intended to be used as an adversarial tool to promote the interests of one parent over the other.  They are being presented to provide education regarding the developmental needs of children when their parents reside in different households.

These schedules are based upon child development research and will be advised periodically as more is learned about how to best serve children when their parents are no longer able to reside in the same household.
