What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
I have recently been going through modifications in my parentling plan, allowing me more frequent and unsupervised visitation with my daughter. My ex was not happy about this ruling. He maintains a close relationship with my father, whom I do not get along with.
Our plan designates that we will arrange a suitable exchange point for weekends, and that I can call ahead to schedule a 3 hour visit on week days. This is because my ex cited his varied schedule as a reason that he could not commit to a specific drop off location or a certain night that would always be free. Obviously, I am petitioning for the details to be made specific, now that I see how problematic they have become.
Currently, my ex will not answer any phone calls or emails. Instead, he phones my dad and says "your daughter asked for ABC at DEF. I won't be able to meet her until EFG at HIJ. Please let her know." He'll even just call and tell him "I'm not comfortable with her request." Often, dad forgets to call me to let me know, and he is not designated as a mediator or mentioned any way in our parenting plan.
I have told my ex that while it is isn't stated, it is implicitly implied by our plan that he communicate with me about our daughter, not through a biased third party. Do I have to get a court order stating that he needs to make arrangements specifically with me, or is he in contempt of court for not arranging things with me as specified in our plan?
