Child's Activities

The Mississippi Court of Appeals decided  Jaggers v. Magruder located here.  The case mainly dealt with what to do in situation regarding extracurricular activities of minor children upon the divorce of the parents.  The parties minor children were on a traveling baseball team which no one seemed to object to and the noncustodial parent argued that it interfered with his ability to spend meaningful time with the kids.  The chancellor weighed the equities of the situation and fashioned a schedule that allowed for additional visitation if the activities interfered with the visitation.  The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision.  This opinion is good to read in order to get some ideas on how to handle this situation which comes up way too often.
