Piggyback Visitation

[VA_Mom]

(quote):I contacted his attorney who drafted up a more set schedule and advised him not to group the weeks together. As for his visiting, I don't care because I've usually let him keep the kids for extra time which was not in the order. Gives me some time for myself. (end quote)

If she usually lets him keep them over anyway why is she even asking this question?

How did his attorney take it when you tried to dictate to him how to write up a more set schedule?

I think you totally misunderstood the post. This was not an issue of overnight visitation.

As for your last comment about dictating, you are presuming without knowing all the facts. He had not made up his mind as to when he would be picking up the children (changing dates, etc) so I called his attorney and asked her if we can agree on a set schedule because I also have a life. It was HIS call for the weeks that he wanted and I totally agreed without any modification. So you are wrong about your dictating comment.

when I said

"keep them over" I meant over the court ordered visitation time. Not overnite. So my question still stands. if you let them stay extra days anyway then why is it a problem if he wants to piggyback his weeks.

The way you wrote the sentence it said that you called his attorney and told her not to group them together.

(your quote)I contacted his attorney who drafted up a more set schedule and advised him not to group the weeks together.


The way this sentence is written it is not asking it is telling.

So I understood your post completely you misunderstood my question.

This train of thought is immaterial to the FACT that he can exercise his visitation as he pleases based on the strict interpretation of the order.

It matters not for the correct answer, whether one parent or the other keeps the child one day extra. That has nothing to do with the answer to THIS post.

One thing that I didn't see mentioned in this thread**************.

Holiday time supercedes regular visitation. So if he grouped his week with his Christmas holiday time, its possible that he was attempting to take time that was mom's share of Christmas break. That one would be a no-no.
