What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
(This is my G/f's account that she is letting me use to ask my question)
My ex-wife barely lets me see my daughter. She lives about 6 hours away from me as I am going to a cheaper college here in North Dakota. Our divorce was finalized when both of us were living in Minnesota so visitation is set for me being able to see her every other weekend. Even when I was living in Minnesota, about 5 miles away from her, she never let me see my daughter, always making excuse after excuse. Well, I am sick of it all. I have talked to lawyers and all have wanted ridiculous amounts of money to just change visitation. My ex-wife and I talked about this and she told me to type up a visitation schedule so we can discuss it. I did a lot of research with other states visitation schedules and came up with this:
Visitation modification for ________, daughter of _______ and ______.
The Father, ________, shall have the right to have visitation with his daughter, __________ as follows:
Every Sixth weekend, visitation shall begin on Friday at 6pm and will end on Sunday at 6pm.
Each parent shall have 5 weeks of summer parenting time. A week is defined as 6pm from date of pickup until 6pm 7 consecutive days later. The summer parenting time shall be provided by each party on or before May 1st of that year. In odd numbered years, the Mother, shall have the first choice of summer parenting time. In even numbered years, the Father, shall have the first choice of summer parenting time. The summer period shall begin the Monday after school lets out and shall end the Friday before school resumes.
During Even years, the Father shall have visitation on Spring Break vacation from 6pm Saturday until the following Saturday at 6pm.
During Odd years, the Father shall have visitation on Thanksgiving Vacation from 6pm Wednesday until Sunday at 6pm.
During Even years, the Father shall have visitation beginning December 24 at 6pm and ending January 2nd at 6pm.
At any other reasonable times when the Father is in the town that his Daughter resides in, the Father shall give at least 48 hours notice for permission to visit her. This type of visitation shall last no more than 24 hours in duration unless more is allowed by the Mother.
Visitations may be made at other such times as agreed upon by both the Mother and Father.
Both the Father and the Mother will split transportation costs as already stated in the divorce papers, under Conclusions of Law, number Three, Parenting Time.
Both the Father and the Mother will meet half-way in ________ to pick up and drop off their daughter when the visitation resides in ____________.
The Father shall have the right of Telephone visitation every Tuesday between the hours of 7pm and 8pm with his Daughter at the Father’s expense. The Mother shall not interfere with the Telephone conversation during the said hour.
The Father shall also have the right of Skype Webcam visitation every Saturday between the hours of 7pm and 8pm with his Daughter. The Mother and Father will both need to purchase and maintain their own webcams along with having adequate internet access. The Mother shall not interfere with the Skype Webcam conversation during the said hour.
Each parent shall keep the other informed of the primary residence and telephone number where their daughter resides or visits as stated in the divorce papers under Conclusions of Law, Number 4, Access to Information.
Well, all she wrote back was. "I am not agreeing to this at all. I don't know your g/f nor do I trust her. I will not allow my daughter to leave this state and I will NEVER allow you to have her meet your g/f."
Now does anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong with this schedule? If someone else has an out-of-state schedule, is this completely out of the question? And another thing, can she really keep from having visitation because I live with my girlfriend? I never gave her "permission" for my daughter to see her b/f, so why should I have to get permission for my daughter to see my g/f? My daughter even calls her mother's b/f daddy because she was asked to. Any suggestions on a whole new set up of the visitation schedule would be great.
I work part-time (75% of my pay check goes to CS. I end up making less than a $200 a month. My rent is just from student loans.) plus go to school full time so money is really tight for me. Thank you.
