What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.
My ex-wife and I divorced over a year ago, but we never lived appart because it took her so long to find a place of her own that we ended up staying together to try and work things out again. However, fast forward 15months later and we are now living apart as of March 13th.
Our divorce states 50/50 custody. We never set up exact dates as to when I was supposed to have my daughter but now that we are apart my ex-wife says that she will only let me have her on my 2 days that I have off work. The issues I have with this is:
1) I have 50% custody, 2 days a week is not 50% I would like to have my daughter at least 3 days
2) She moved about 60 miles away from me one way. My days off change every week, and they are rarely back to back so most of my time with my daughter will be spent driving to pick her up and drop her off, we would never be able to really do anything.
What can I do to resolve these issues? I told my wife, via text message, that I would like to have my daughter Mon-Wed from here on out and she said "No". That I will have to email her a copy of my work schedule and I can only have her on my 2 days off a week. I know that the permanent solution to this would be to go to court, but what can I do in the mean time?
