What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan.
We have not filed for divorce yet and my 3 year old daughter lives with me. She's never spent a night away from home and no one but me has put her to bed in about 2.5 years. My husband has been very hands off--except for fun times and play. In the beginning of the separation we both agreed that our daughter should maintain as much of a 'normal' life as possible througout this whole process and for as long as possible.
I suggested, as a start, for him to visit two weeknights and one weekend day. He's been late every week day. Each time he doesn't spend more than 1-1.5 hours with her. His time during the week is always spent at home with her and I. The weekend time is some at home and some at his parents house with her.
He's angry with me right now and has sent me an email that he will be requesting the start of overnight visits at his parents house beginning next Tuesday. Do I have to let him do that? Can I object and say I want a mediator/friend of court ruling on it first?
Seems he's doing this out of anger toward me to hurt me and has forgotten about what's best for his daughter. I do want him to be in her life and for them to have a healthy nourished relationship. But overnight visits at age 3?
Help!!!
