The Cumberland Circuit Court convened on November 21, 2024, to address ongoing issues regarding visitation arrangements between parents Kenny Brown and Lindsey Schuteman Brown concerning their daughter, Kaylee. The meeting focused on the failure to adhere to the established time-sharing schedule, which has reportedly not been followed for approximately six months.

The court began with discussions about the stipulation that neither party has been receiving the scheduled visits as outlined in the court order. Both parents acknowledged that the visitation arrangements have not been occurring as intended, with Kenny Brown stating that there is currently no arrangement in place for Kaylee, who lives with him, while their son Colton resides with his mother.

Kenny Brown testified about the circumstances leading to the current situation, indicating that Kaylee made the decision to live with him after a conflict involving their son. He noted that Kaylee has been visiting her mother frequently, but the overnight visits have not been occurring as per the court's directives. The court sought to clarify the visitation schedule, which was previously agreed upon as a 50/50 arrangement, but both parties expressed uncertainty about its current status.

The judge emphasized the importance of understanding the full context of the situation, including the relationship dynamics between Kaylee and her mother. Testimony revealed that Kaylee has been visiting her mother regularly, which the father believes has contributed to improving their relationship. However, the court noted that there has been no formal motion filed to suspend the mother's visitation rights, despite the ongoing issues.

The judge proposed to interview Kaylee privately to gain insight into her perspective on the visitation arrangements and her relationship with her mother. The court expressed a desire to resolve the matter amicably and ensure that the child’s best interests are prioritized.

As the meeting progressed, the judge highlighted the need for both parties to work collaboratively to establish a clear and enforceable visitation plan moving forward. The court's next steps will involve further discussions between the parents and their legal representatives to facilitate a resolution that supports Kaylee's well-being and adherence to court orders.
