Sorry for the late response. As far as I knew we did not have any upcoming court dates. I went to the courthouse and checked and he has filed for contempt and to amend visitation. I am assuming that with what I found on google, this letter is telling me, that his lawyer is simply letting me know he is representing him.
I have not retained a lawyer yet. I do have a few other questions though. The contempt is for mother's day weekend. Our CO is not set up specifically for this, we have just worked it out in the past. This year we originally agreed via a phone conversation that we would simply switch Mother's day weekend for Father's day weekend. Then I got a text the Monday before Mother's day weekend where he said he would just bring her home at 7pm the Saturday night before Mother's day. I told him this wouldn't work as I had already made plans for the weekend. Texts went back and forth all week. When he and his wife came to pick her up I handed him a copy of our currnt court order which stated on the back a list of General Visitation rules provided by the court. One of the rules stated that visitation could be canceled with 24 hrs notice as long as it was made up within 30 days. He said I was still denying him visitation and he would see me in court.
I texted him last Thrusday to see if he was still getting our daughter on the for Father's day weekend and he responded with he would get her at "7pm the Saturday night before as per our orginally agreement." This was not our agreement at all. I told him thatHe could pickup her up as it was a "makeup" visit on Friday at 5pm and keep her until Sunday at 6:30 like he would have had her on Mother's day wknd. He is saying he doens't want to do that he will just get her at 7pm on the Saturday before and keep her until Sunday.
One of the other rules on the General Visitation is that if the visiting parent is more than 30 minutes late, the CP can cosider the visit cancelled. I am wondering if his lawyer is telling him to do this so he can say he didn't get a makeup visit?? I'm fine with letting her go at 7pm but I don't want it to come back in court that I only followed the General Visitation plan when it was convienient for me, which is what that would look like. But I want her to see her dad for father's day as we had orginally planned.
Any advice would be great. Thanks you in advance.
