Ammending C/O

Hi guys.  We FINALLY have our court date set for the beginning of April, DH and I are working up a list of what we want changed in his current very-vague-mother-favoring court order.  We are getting specific with holidays (down to places and times) addressing driving, extra curricular activities and general visitation. I just feel like I am forgetting something huge, does anyone have any other suggestions on things that should be addressed?(and I know this is asked a lot, I feel awful even asking again, but I went back a few pages and couldn't find any similar posts)

Thanks!!

    Just be careful about places and exact times. If you even move 20 mins away to be in a better school district or whatever it's going to be a pain in the arse driving 30 some miles in terrible snow at Christmas to always get to the same spot.

    I like time limits in COs. In my CO, I have 7 days to notify XH of a medical expense and XH has 90 days to reimburse me. 

    If I were going to amend my CO, I would build in more time limits--ie, parents have 30 days to pay for extracurricular

    My children aren't allowed to call anyone else "mother," or "father." Have you worked out who will claim the children on taxes?  My XH is also required to carry life insurance policy w/the children as beneficiaries.
