What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Father has custody and mother has visits EOW and alternating holidays. Child is in dance and soccer..or at least was in soccer. Mother agreed to let child do soccer last season and agreed to let her do it this season if father picked up from her house and dropped her back off after games because she said she doesnt enjoy going. Which is fine everything was agreed. Last min mother told child to let father know she can not do soccer and will have to find a sport that does not involve her weekends. Make up time was offered as well.
THe issue is there are no sports that do not invove weekends. She does not want to do karate which is during the week. Only soccer and dance. So this season she is out. Because the coach will not allow her to participate in half the games, Only 4 games would fall on her weekends.
This is fine for now. But what happenes when the child is older (say Jr high or high school) and the activity she chooses to do requires her to be there on the weekend? Is it that she can never do anything because her parents decided to get a divorce? Or is this something to go to court with and let her do one activity that falls on weekends but give her more holidays/or make up time when missing?
