What is the name of your state? MI
I have 2 kids with diffrent dads and seem either dad wants responsibiliy. One kid is 6 years old and his father has no place of his own and lives 2 hours away and wants me to meet half way to see his son for the day. I did this for a while but it has seem to run my life every other weekend. I have told him if he wants to see his son he could come pick him up at my house and drop him off at my house and he has a problem with that. He says since I am the one, with court approval, moved 2 hours away I should meet him half way. I feel I am not with him anymore and feel my life should revolve around him anymore. Our custody papers say he has resonable visitation. First question is what is resonable visitation and should I continue to meet him half way?
My second kid is 3 and his dad feels the same as the other that I should meet half way, but its got to be where he wants to meet or he won't see his son. I did it for a while and again feel it shouldn't run my life of meeting his father. I feel if the dads want to see them they can pick them up and drop them off. He has no visitation according to court papers because he didn't show up to court. My question is should I continue to meet him or just tell him to come to my house and get him if it is that important to see him.
I have got some replys to this. I just want to clear somethings up. I am being made out to be the non responsible one here but I have bent over backwards to try and get the kids dads to take responsibility but they don't seem to want to. One kid comes home sick all the time, the other comes back wanting with the I rule the world attitude. Any time I need their dads help with anything besides paying the childsupport they do pay and seeing them everyother weekend they don't want the bother. I have tryed very hard for my kids to be in their dads life but I am the only one putting effort foward.

Wait - my crystal ball is telling me that you're now going to tell us that neither of them pays support.
