What is the name of your state? Indiana. I am writing this to ask a question for my fiancee'. He has a 12 year old daughter that he has joint custody of. We have her 7 days out of 14. Our circumstance is unusual in the fact that we live 35 minutes from her home. Up until recently I worked in the same town that she lives in so getting back and forth to school was not a problem. I would drop her off before school and pick her up after. My job was recently eliminated which I realize is not her mothers problem. The problem is this each year she has enrolled her in summer school mainly so that she will have somewhere to be in the summer so that she will not have to have a sitter for her daughter. My step daughter informed me last night that she is going to enroll her this year also. The first year I was with her father I had the summer off so it was not a problem. We have her the 1st through the 15th of June, July and August. My question is this can he object to her putting her in summer school. Currently I am still unemployed but June 1st is approaching fast. If I do find employment it will be nearly impossible for us to drive her back and forth every day. My fiancee' loves his daughter very much and does not want to lose his time with her. In the past they were always able to work things out but a year ago she moved in a new boyfriend and everything changed. It went from him being able to talk to his daughters mother in person and on the phone to his daughter having to be the go between. The man she lives with wants very little contact at all. It almost seems as if he wants a man that has dedicated his life to his daughter to disappear. Does anyone have any answers to the summer school situation?
