Diana Vigilance, a circuit court judge in the 22nd Judicial District and chair of the local family law advisory committee, asked the Crook County Board of Commissioners to approve updated standard parenting-time plans that move away from rigid custody frameworks toward more flexible arrangements tailored to children's ages and family circumstances.
