What is the name of your state? California
Our daughter and (4-year old) grand-daughter moved out of state. My wife and I are planning on bringing our grand-daughter out for a two week visit. We will fly to pick up our grand-daughter and then again to bring her home.
Our grand-daughter's birth father lives here in our town. When we did this last year, he expected to get his visitation time (several day visits and a two overnight visits), of which we complied. The birth father telephones our grand-daughter sporadically every week to two weeks for a five-minute call. He has ignored/avoided all court ordered child support, and actually the court has been unable to serve him papers for the ongoing child support hearings.
I have mentioned to our daughter that on this visit with our grand-daughter, that we have no intention of allowing the birth father any visitation unless he compensates us (or our daughter) for his portion of the visit costs. We would expect this visit to cost us approximately $2,000. Break this down by 14 days and it's approximately $143 per day.
Can we legally do this, and would it jeapordize our daughters custody rights?
