The father and I both reside in the state of Colorado.
I recently contacted my daughter’s father to ask that we change the pickup date to Fridays instead of Mondays because it worked better with my work schedule. Our parenting plan states that we can switch between Fridays or Mondays, depending on what works best with our schedule. We normally switch Mondays, but occasionally we have to switch Fridays for different events and such. We tend to be fairly flexible and easygoing people. But I was asking that it be permanently switched to Fridays, and that if need be, we switch an occasional Monday.
This ended up becoming an argument; he has a recreational event going on and said he wouldn’t be able to take her. I tried coming to a compromise with him, but he wasn’t willing to budge. He initially was willing to ask his parents if she could watch her so he could participate in his tournament, then he decided that picking her up Sunday would be better, but then he proceeded to escalate the situation. Admittedly I let my emotions get to me and I fed into it. He’s now blocked me and I’m left not knowing when he’s planning on picking her up.
I ended up having to take her to urgent care last evening because she broke out into a high fever and I couldn’t manage to break it. I tried contacting him to let him know and still couldn’t manage to get ahold of him. I’ve resorted to contacting his family asking them to ask him to contact me since this is something he should know about — we’re both equally financially responsible for her healthcare.
This isn’t the first time he’s blocked me and refused to be in contact me in regards to our daughter. First time he blocked me, he refused to let me see her. (I told him that during my weeks, I would watch her during the day since I work in the evenings and that I saw no reason to pay for daycare during my weeks. He then proceeded to tell me that until I pay for daycare entirely, I’m not going to see her. I called police to see what I could do and they told me they couldn’t do anything. I ended up waiting until he decided he didn’t want to watch her anymore.)
I’m lost as to what I should do or how I should go about this. Is there a way to legally prevent him from doing this in the future? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
