If he did, then HE would be asking questions. This isn't your circus - these aren't your monkeys.He feels the same way but mmkay
When was he advised of the week of surgery?Here is the thing is last year he requested the week that she was having surgery so she wouldn’t of been able to care for the kids anyways and she fought him on that. And she did not allow him to get another week. Current custody is father gets kids EOW. And two non consecutive weeks in the summer. Holidays are agreed upon every year between the both of them. They were on good terms when this was set up and established so that is why it is so vague. Now they still co-parent okay until they disagree with each other. So this year when we have plans and have given her plenty notice she now has plans that week.
Going off of the suggestion above, I use a program called "TalkingParents(dot)com"The best way to help your DH is to set up a file for him in which he keeps detailed records of communications and dates of and activities during the physical custody of the child. The calendar should include dates visitation was requested and copies of the communication doing so a well as mom's responses. Remind him to use written requests and keep copies.
It won't help the OP at all.Going off of the suggestion above, I use a program called "TalkingParents(dot)com"
It costs me something like $4 a month (because I use the paid service). It can be free if the person wants it to be (minus some bells and whistles)
This keeps a record of all email communications between you and the other person.
It keeps record when the other person views the communication
There is a calendar for your records
There is a journal for your records.
That's no universal - it's at the court's discretion. Additionally, the matter is not related to Texas. That's not to say that the court wouldn't accept it.In Texas, this is admissible in court for record keeping.
The court may order it...then no "agreement" is required.I think that it requires the other person to agree to use it as well... (not 100% sure on that) but if you can get that person to agree... it would alleviate many issues.
Wait - does that answer the question?Going off of the suggestion above, I use a program called "TalkingParents(dot)com"

Just a suggestion.
I hear that... and that is why I added the text "In Texas".That's no universal - it's at the court's discretion. Additionally, the matter is not related to Texas. That's not to say that the court wouldn't accept it.
OP is trying to help her DH. He should be taking care of business, but if he is like many people, not just men, they don't document the details. If mom is denying dad visitation requested in a timely manner or scheduling activities during the time dad had requested, a calendar is needed to demonstate the problem. Dad can do the communicating as he apparently is doing, and step-mom can make sure he attends to the documentation. Dad can than get on the forum with his questions.Wait - does that answer the question?
