202405035 insurance coverage, the Decree shall become final and operative six months after the Decree is entered. II. CUSTODY AND VISITATION A. CUSTODY: In consideration of the best interests of the children as required by Nebraska law and specifically §42-364 and the provisions of the Parenting Act. The Court finds that it is in the children's best interests that legal and physical custody be placed with the Plaintiff. Given the difficulties the parties have in communicating and the need for stability of the children (particularly Sam), the Court finds joint legal custody or a week -on week -off schedule would not be appropriate. B. VISITATION: The Defendant currently receives every other weekend visitation with all three children and during weeks he does not receive weekend visitation he spends two hours with Sam on Tuesdays and two hours with Nasya on Wednesdays. (Jaxson was not included because of his age at the time of the temporary order.) The Plaintiff presented evidence through Ms. Schwan, a therapist, that the weeknight visitations were not appropriate for Sam because of his needs. Given the lack of any evidence from the schools that the visitations were causing Sam increased behavioral problems or any evidence concerning behavioral problems from a party other than the Plaintiff, the Court finds Ms. Schwan's testimony unpersuasive. The Court further notes that the current visitation schedule was crafted to allow the children time with their father to ensure that helping Sam would not deprive the other children of attention during all other interactions with him. The Court finds that it is in the best interests of the minor children that the Defendant should have visitation with Sam from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Nasya from 5:30 p.m. 3'Page Page ��
