What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

If it's my exs time for holiday and visitation i believe that since they wanted it so bad they would need to take the time off work to "visit" their child.

Its my exs holiday and i have been aware that my ex leaves MY child with his "wife" she takes them to the park and wherever she feels the need to take them. since he is not present which he should be, could i get in trouble if i also "showed" up and took the child. i never gave permission that his "wife" could "baby sit" MY child and because im custodial parent i am looking at his best interests. i spoke with the police in our local area and they have told me they cant do anything about it if she were to call the cope because i am the parent and she is not. please tell me if this is true or not thanks

Unless you have an order restricting how visitation is spent, you have little to no say in how the co-parent exercises their visitation. Conceivably, you could go pickup the child, if the other parent is not there, however expect to be charged with violating the other parents visitation time.

You are actively TRYING to hand over custody to Dad, aren't you?

I support your efforts, wholeheartedly.

:)

(By the way - you don't get to decide who babysits on Dad's time. You've been told this at least a gazillion times - would you like us to say it in a different language, perhaps?)

legally speaking, yes. you absolutely can pull this stunt. but it will backfire on you. and then guess what....the judge will order a restraining order on you not allowing you to interfere with dad's parenting time. so next time you try to pull this stunt, you'll end up in jail.

when your son "wants" cookies and ice cream for dinner do you let him make that decision. ???

I agree, your son is better off with his dad. you are out of control.
 
Hadn't we arranged for her and spinny to get married?

I still haven't received my wedding invitation. Le sigh.
so your saying the same for my ex, if someone from my family has him, he cannot legally get him correct :D

i believe one of these days my son will be in danger from a baby sitter of his and when my son gets hurt i will surely be suing!

I believe your son is more likely to be at risk while he's in your care, and I'd hazard I'm not alone there.

I hope you can afford those therapy bills...and the supervision that you'll be paying for once custody is changed.

:cool:
