Neutral location for exchange of children, when

In plain English

When parents share custody, a judge can decide — or parents can agree — that they will drop off and pick up their kids at a neutral spot, not at each other's homes. That place could be a special center made for this purpose or just any safe, suitable location. A neutral person who is not on either side can be there to keep an accurate record of whether each parent followed the rules.
