Mom and Dad were living in Wisconsin when Mom informed Dad that she wanted to separate. Within days, Dad moved to his mother's house in Illinois. Mom filed in Wisconsin, residency / jurisdiction wasn't contested, the schedule in place is the schedule at the time of the ruling.i sure hope you aren't Barney
was this the same order as before dad moved?
the fact dad does not spend time with his daughter on his time is irrelevant to the issue. so lose that argument. what dad does on his time is his business and his choice.
now, i am curious how mom is doing all the transportation when DAD moved and how did dad get EVERY WEEKEND?? normally the moving parent is required to provide all the transportation. joint legal custody isn't an issue. joint physical custody might not be working.
it's mom's best interest for her to come online and answer the advisors' questions. you wouldn't send your wife to a prostate doctor for cancer in your place, would you?
The judge threw out Mom's petitions for "every other weekend" and "every weekend except the last weekend of the month" because he thought that Dad wouldn't have enough time with Daughter (which, I am not contesting). But because of the logistics, if Dad is to get enough placement time, it has to navigate around Daughter's school schedule. Thus, "every weekend."
I realize that it's in Mom's best interest to speak for herself in this forum. I'm just trying to get a feel for whether these circumstances might be such that a revised placement schedule would be considered. This schedule is causing grief for both my wife and my step-daughter, and I'm just trying to do what I can to make that go away.
