Childcare Expectations
It is hereby stipulated that the breakdown of childcare responsibilities will be dictated by the provisions of this contract relating to the division of household labor and the respective obligations to contribute financially to the household. Specifically, childcare shall be considered one element of household responsibilities and those responsibilities shall be borne in proportion to the respective financial and work-related contributions of the partners. In the event the partners contribute equally with respect to finances, they will share childcare responsibilities equally. The same variables that dictate household responsibilities more generally shall also govern childcare responsibilities.

Social Expectations and Obligations
It is hereby agreed that both grandparents will have similar social access to children but that they will not participate in childrearing decisions. Further, the parties will not invite parental contribution into any marital decisions without consulting one another first and obtaining one another's consent for disclosure of personal matters to parents in any decision-making capacity. It is hereby stipulated that neither party shall involve the other in purely social relationships that are not necessary without consent and that neither party will exert any pressure to enter into or maintain any social relationships. Conversely, both parties shall have the autonomous right to pursue friendships individually without interference. The only proviso in that respect is that either party may veto the other's right to bring friends into the home when the objecting party is also in the home, such as where either party dislikes the other's friends.
