To clarify, your child WILL BE going on his regularly scheduled time with Dad? The entire scheduled time? And then you are planning to have your mother take care of the child, after Dad's time, until your return?

I would talk to dad. Offer him Monday and Tuesday, and explain that if he's NOT going to utilize that extra time, that Gramma will be staying with kiddo.

Google for a "Medical Release" - this is NOT the same as a POA, but would allow your mother to seek medical care for kiddo in the event that neither parent can be located and something happens.

let dad know grandma will be babysitting if he doesn't want to keep the child. make sure grandma has dad's contact information in the event of an emergency. let grandma know that if dad wants to pick up the child during that time, to not cause a scene and just hand the child over.

you won't get charged with neglecting the child for two days with a babysitter.

What, if any, difference in drop off pick up location would drop off at mom's entail? What are your court ordered pick up/drop off arrangments?

Is that even LEGAL .... You cant charge some one for neglecting a child ... i didnt dump him off and say i wasnt coming back ...so can someone really pull that garbage ... and my mother and his dad have no problems .... It would be more his father who wouldnt want to spend extra time with him

Says no to WHAT? Says he doesn't want the extra 2 days? No. I don't get what you're so worried about. Kids stay a couple days w/Gramma all the time. You say Dad's not a jerk... what gives?

there are some assanine angry exes that will try that route. and it's not neglect. like you stated, you didn't just leave the child to fend for themselves.

if dad doesn't want to take the extra time, then he doesn't have to. just let him know the extra time is there.

he usually is to busy to be bothered with his current visits with my son .. so im sure me asking or offering 2 more days would be a bother to him .. i just wanted to no if there was something legal i needed to do ...thank you very much for all your insight
