ours does go both ways. bdad is supposed to send us an updates about himself (phone or letter or email) at least once a year and is welcome to send pictures, etc. The wording we have reiterates that the reason for this is the welfare of our daughter.
do I plan to take him to court if he doesn't? probably not, but I do have the right to.
remember, these are agreements that both parties negotiate. you can include what you want in them, or remove what you're not happy with, as long as both parties agree.
