Rock and hard place.

[Robbybaby1]

Hello,
I am stuck between a rock and hard place. My husband and his ex wife has a little girl that they share custody. Legally they have made agreements. He picks her up from school on fridays and they meet halfway on Sunday for drop off at 6. That’s what’s in paper. However she is refusing to drive halfway on Sunday’s. It’s always on excuse after another. Mostly she’s tired and it’s too long a drive. The drive is 3 hours. It has become stressful for my husband and myself. His ex is primary and our daughter goes to school with her mother.
So I want to know how we can deal with her meeting ya at the disignated drop off/pick up spot? Because if she refuses we feel we have to drive daughter home so she doesn’t miss school. Because school is important to us.

This is between your husband and his ex. If his ex is not complying with the visitation court order, it's up to him to take her to court and enforce it or seek some other custody and/or visitation arrangements.

I fixed the many typing errors you made in your post. Please remember this is a law forum and not a step-parent forum. Thank You.

If the mother is failing to comply with the court order, your husband can return to court and attempt to hold her accountable for contempt. While the two of you may be a partnership in life and parenting, only your husband is a party to the legal battle with the mother of their shared child. HE needs to work through the court system to either compel her to comply with the court order, or to seek a modification of the order in some way. If he does nothing, nothing will change. The longer he acquiesces to the situation as it presents itself, the longer it is likely to continue unabated.
