What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Is this worth pursuing? The NCP is supposed to have 1st, 3rd & 5th weekends. However, with her job, it is a 4 on 2 off schedule, and so often times when her weekends come around, she says she can't take the kids, because she can't get the weekend off. Our mediator told her to get a different job so that she could have those weekends off, and she refused, saying she'd allegedly lose benefits and seniority when it came to vacations? However, she works 12 HR shifts. It's in our parenting plan that if SHE has to work that weekend, I have the option to keep them. Right now, she's saying it's easier to do the 1 weekend a month, and wants to go to court again, to try and adopt a "tailored visitation plan". When I told her that CS could go up, she laughed and said that child support wasn't her concern, and that spending time with them is. She says that it would be easier for her job to give her a definitive 3 day weekend, versus just having the 2 (or 3) weekends off permanently. She says that she wants to do this, so that on her weekend(if we go to just 1 weekend), she will actually have the days off to spend time with them, rather than them going to a sitter. That takes time away from me being able to spend personal time with my SO, and with my job, I travel a lot(working offshore).
Could this not be used against her? She got to keep him all Christmas break, because we went on vacation. So she does see him, but she tries to extend it, instead of taking the weekends.
