what is the name of your state. Thank you.How can the order be changed to include third party? In my case because I have to work.
Also, to add, in general, when both parents are involved, a California court is not going to assign any third party visitation rights. They will expect each parent to arrange for extended family visitation on their own time, but again, that is not meant to imply that the child can spend 100% of your visitation time elsewhere all the time.You are allowed to arrange for child care on your time. If there is a "right of refusal" clause, follow that. Keep in mind that "child care" during your visitation isn't meant to imply that the child can spend 100% of "your" visitation time elsewhere all the time.
Speaking specifically to this OP's situation, I agree. However, in general, California courts can (and do) allow for third party visitation in some situations. (edit)To be clear: The situations that allow for third-party visitation don't apply in the OP's situation (based on the facts given).Also, to add, in general, when both parents are involved, a California court is not going to assign any third party visitation rights.

That is why I qualified my comment to say "when both parents are involved".Speaking specifically to this OP's situation, I agree.

I agree.
Even if they are both involved, what I said is true. In fact, it is more common when they're both involved, since the situation often arises during a divorce situation when neither parent wants to allow the visitation.That is why I qualified my comment to say "when both parents are involved".

At the end of the day, if you and the other parent cannot agree on having a third party pick-up the kid(s) at the ordered time due to your work hours you need to file for a modification - either to change the p/u time or to allow a third party to p/u or d/o.
