My friend's separation agreement states that he is to have access to his children on Friday at 6pm until Sunday at 6pm
His employment recently switched him to afternoon shift 3pm-11pm.
He notified his ex of this, requesting her to drop the children off at his residence at 6pm, where he would have a babysitter to care for them for approx. 5 hours, while he was at work. He told her that he would always return the children to her Sunday at 6pm.
(they're agreement does not state anything regarding which one of them is responsible for pick up/drop off)
Since he got switched to this 3pm-11pm shift. His ex just refuses to bring the children to his residence at 6pm on the Friday. So he ends up driving to get them Saturday morning for 9am--she is never home, he goes to her work--sees her car there/he calls her work, asks where the children are--and then he ends up having to pick them up from her parents house--turns out that she is dropping the children off at the parents or a sister's before 6pm on the Friday and leaving them there all night to sleep over, she works 7-3 on the Friday and then is going in for overtime on these Saturday mornings 7-3.
so she is refusing him to have the children cared for by a third party for 5 hours while in his care, but she is having the children cared for at 17 hours in her care--sometimes transferring them between her sister's house/parents house back and forth during those 17 hours.
Is she allowed to do this???
A year ago when he first got hired at this job, he was on afternoon shift 3pm-11pm---at that time the ex insisted that he go pick up the 2 and 6 year old at that time at midnight from her house, meaning he would not return back home to his residence with them until closer to 1am (it is a 40 min drive between their houses)
He is refusing to do it this time, as it is an inappropriate time.
