Superior Rights Doctrine, what is it?

[Ukiah]

Hi,

I had read somewhere that a parent used the "Superior Rights Doctrine" to have child when other parent is out of town, or being babysat...

What is it?

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

Never heard of it.

However, if they are out of town for an extended period of time, and the child is not given to you during your "normal" visitation time, then that would be "interference with visitation rights" - - which is actionable.

But, if they are out of town during your "non-visitation" days, then the custodial parent has every right to have the child babysat by anyone they choose, and who is a responsible person.

Sorry, sweetheart.

I knew that, I wasn't thinking of imposing something like that on the X, I read somewhere where one parent used that to have the children while the other went out of town, instead of the child being babysat.


Speaking of the X,

I called ot talk to my daughter last night, During our conversation, the SM told her to ask me if I wanted the number for the coach to find out what happened. I told her that I would take care of it, and that she didn't need to be involved. I think she was delighted to repeat that to the SM, as she's tired of being in the middle.

We continued to talk and while we were saying our goodbye's, SM interrupted and asked if I wanted the number, I politely said "No", SM replied with "Fine, whatever!" and continued to my goodbye's with my daughter.

I am not sure if SM was listening on another phone or not, I wish there was a way to find out - some kind of tool....

Anyways, during our conversation, my daughter mentioned that the closing ceremonies were at 5:00PM on the same day as the supposed game, which I was not told about in any conversation, message, nothing! Otherwise we would have stayed to see them!!

After we hung up, my X called and left a message telling me the coaches number (the one I didn't need - as I already have it), and told me to call him so he can tell me what happened.

The confusing part is; He doesn't want me to contact the babysitter to talk to her, or my daughter YET he wants so desperately for me to call the coach?

See why I get so frustrated, and am confused??

No comments necessary, just pondering points...
