CJane you were right

[luvisabattle]

I was found in contempt today for changing our daughter's daycare without her father's consent since we have joint decision making. The commissioner said I should have filed a motion first.

Who pays for childcare? If you are the only one paying for childcare why were you held in contempt for not given the father notice?

Which part of "joint decision making" did you miss?

 

[luvisabattle]

Because I agreed to joint decision making concerning daycare in our parenting plan. If there's disagreement then you have to file a motion and have the court decide instead of making the decision on your own.

Up until the huge vendetta he had left all decision making up to me. He was completely uninvolved. When I signed the plan I thought he would be rational

Oh, I know - I'm a little familiar with your situation

I was wondering why stepmom4ever - who has a truly remarkable posting history here - asked the question, since "joint decision making" has a pretty definitive meaning.

So how were you sanctioned? What was your punishment?

I wasn't quite sure how else to put it without offending someone, somewhere...

$100 fine and one down on my two allowed contempt orders.

She didn't give them lawyer fees (thank God)

So now you are going to behave, correct? And follow the court order, correct?

I have a question. Since many parents on this board are told that it is the right of the parent who has physical custody at that time to decide on a childcare provider...how does that come into play with joint custody? Do the parents always have to agree on who will be caring for the child? Because it seems like unless there is an ROFR clause...people are generally told the person with the child will make the choice? I know joint custody applies typically to school, medical, etc...but I didn't think it applied to daycare or babysitters? I'm confused?

She specifically agreed to it in her parenting plan.

Ok - that makes sense. Sorry - I missed that part?
