What is the name of your state (Illinois)?
My daughter is 9 years old. She has been a cheerleader for three years now. She absolutely loves it & is great at it. Last season, my ex-husband decided he didn't want to take her to her game. There was no relevance behind this - it was merely to aggravate me because I was the coach. It was the last game of the season & my daughter was crushed when he told her. She told me that she didn't want to go to her dad's house. I have never degraded her father to her or in her presence, despite the many blow-offs & lack of support. However, because she brought this to my attention, I felt the need to fight for her decision. Long story short, he called the police to my home when I was 'witholding' visitation from him. The officer advised me to re-modify my court order mandating him to take her to her extra-curricular activities. I've heard it could go either way. I just want her to be happy. She just joined softball as well & so far so good in terms of him taking her to her practice (one time thus far). I feel that as parents, it's important to keep our kids in sports & off the streets. But if he doesn't commit to taking her, I don't want to involve her in an organization that she can't be fully commited to. Will taking him back to court help at all?
