• There is no discussion of court case or possible future outcomes during visitation
  
  
• No child will be used to gather information about the other parent or caretaker or to transmit documents, information or personal possessions
  
  
• There is no spanking, hitting or threatening the child/children, and no emotional, verbal, physical or sexual abuse
  
  
• No visits shall take place while visiting parent or caretaker appears to be under influence of alcohol or illegal drugs
  
  

• No confidential privilege exists
  
  
• Any suspected abuse must be reported to the appropriate agency as provided by law
