Ex being difficult regarding Memorial Day Holiday visitation

[lovemydaughter]

And with his new job he cant show up anyway.

Are you responding in a parallel universe or something?

Lady, if you want an enforceable court order that reflects the rotating holidays, your only option is to have the order modified. That doesn't mean you HAVE to drag broke Dad to court if you get him to agree.

Stop making excuses. (I was reading your other threads, and honestly, you are the queen of passive aggressive excuse making parenting, but I digress). Either live with it as it is or change it.

Easy peasy. Simple as pie. Done.

Here is what I am not understanding. Memorial Day is on a Monday, which isn't a weekend. So when is his court ordered visitation? 9am Monday morning? Did I miss this?

YOU are the one that seems to need the clarification for holidays so YOU will be the one to take it to court and pay the fees.

If he can't go to court because of a new job then you would probably get what you wanted anyway by default if he kept not showing up for court.

Dad gets kids for holiday if it is his normal visitation day. If you don't give him the kids he can slap you with contempt motion.

Enjoy your holiday alone.

Dogmatique said it best.... "Who said life is fair? Go kick that person in the shins!"

So are you going to keep babbling on with your nonsense OR are you going to actually pursue modifying the order so holidays are included? There is no fight involved...as long as it's fair (each parent alternates holidays).

Grow up already. Oh -- and I would consider another attorney because this one with "25 years of experience" ain't worth their salt.

EDIT TO ADD: if this is just weekend parenting time (Fri PM - Sun PM), then you get Memorial Day.

She wants the whole weekend or, at the very least, Sunday night.

My question is does said holiday include her staying overnight at my home?

OP would have to stop playing the role of victim in everything that comes her way. Odds of that happening? zero

So it is dad's weekend? Then why would he be picking her up at 9am on Monday? I'm going on no sleep whatsoever I am just wrapping my little brain aroudn this one?

 

[bononos again]

I think OP just plans to be in contempt and not give the child to Dad for HIS time. She plans on him not having money or time to file contempt.
GREAT PARENTING!

By the way, how much money have you wasted on your worthless attorney?

Sounds like they have 50/50 week on week off by the first post.

How is it fair for him to have this holiday 2 years in a row? We switch holidays He had her for Easter last year this year I got her.

Because Memorial Day is not a "holiday" like Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas. If it's not specifically in your court order, then it is his time.

 

[kimberlywrites]

My atty. has been in practice for 25 years in family law. He is not wrong. I am not backing down from this. I can call the cops and make him get off my property. We did this last Christmas we flipped our visitation days for that week.

Okay, wow. Ask your lawyer if he will represent you for free when your butt gets hauled into court for contempt.

 

[mommabearx1]

OP please clarify what is dad's parenting time

Everyone is jumping the gun that dad's visitation is on a Monday. If thatis the case then you are all right. What does your court order state to be dad's parenting time?

I don't agree with OP's attitude but just for clarification reasons

And, if your lawyer is so certain...WHY ARE YOU HERE? Because you KNOW he's probably wrong. Right? If you were so certain, you would not be here seeking advice you already got from your all-knowing lawyer.

 

[kimberlywrites]

My ex cannot afford court.

So you think that will save you because he can't go after you for contempt?
Wow.
