I live in Arizona, Phoenix to be exact. I have a question regarding an issue I am having with my 3 year old son.
I recently relocated (allowed by ex-husband) and right now we have an arrangment where he sees my son on the weekends 3 out 4 every month. This arrangment was agreed to in July of 2011. However I have been trying to get something more reasonable given our circumstances which is:
- 3 hour driving distance between the two homes
- Joint Custody
I am not trying to change custody, i have final decision making authority however my son has been showing signs of extreme agreesion and regression in education at his preschool only on days after the transition back from his fathers. Not to mention the fact that my ex husband within 6 months of the current parenting plan has aquired $1100 behind in new back child support. I know that money does not effect visitation but doesnt the parents ability to provide come into play?
I am wondering what a basic parenting plan would be in my circumstance to allow my son to have consitency and realiablity in his primary home? He will be starting school next year as well. Would the court accept something like:
- 1 once a month over night visits per month during the school year
- Every other week during the Summer Months
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. I just would like the current plan to be changed as soon as possible and my ex husband has been non responsive to any attempts to changing the plan.
Thank you!
