What is ordinary contact according to the law

Joint parent contact is basically the best thing for the children. Regarding the scope
of the visit, the parents must agree on this together. Children also have an important
role in the question of togetherness. The older the children are, the more their voice should be emphasized. Contact Skjerpen Bugge Advokatfirma AS

Parents must also consider the following factors when asking about contact:
 To what extent the children are connected to the local community
 Travel distance between parents
 Other considerations for children otherwise such as attachment and relationships
What is ordinary contact according to the law
For those of parents who do not have their children permanently living with them,
regular contact under the Children's Act will be the starting point.
The contact according to the law often looks like this: one parent must be with the
children one afternoon a week with accommodation, another every weekend, a total of three weeks during the summer holidays and every other autumn - Christmas, -
winter and Easter holidays.

Still disagree about togetherness
A lawyer can often make the situation easier where you have not agreed on how
much time you should spend with the children. In cases concerning visitation, the cost of a lawyer can often be covered by the law on free legal aid.

How to assess what is best for the children will vary with the life situation of the
parents and children. This depends on each family and implementation and what is best for children and parents. This is precisely why you have your own arrangements internally in the family. 

Travel expenses for contact
The starting point is what the parties agree on. If you do not agree on sharing travel expenses, then the rules are that this should be shared according to how much income you have. This is stated in the Children's Act § 44.
The costs to be shared are these:
 Costs for the child's travel
 The parents' necessary costs in connection with picking up and bringing the child to the visitation center
 The custodial parent's costs for their own travel when the visitation takes place where the child lives
