At my recent Case Conference, I tried to get school drop off and pick ups, but that didnt get awarded (ex didn't want it), pick up and drop offs are still happening in the lobby of my apartment building.
With this litigation going on, its tense between the ex and I, and as much as I try to ignore and take the high road, its just pushing my buttons, and adding drama for the children imo.
Its these long drawn out pick ups where ex checks the kids bags to make sure they have everything they needs for the visit (yes I know I shouldnt have to pack a bag, but heaven forbid they forget something, then I have to drive it over). And ex feels that if he pays child support, the other parent needs to supply everything for the weekend visit, i.e. toys, electronics, clothes and any extra he may need like skates, helmets etc.
Drop offs arent much better, because there is a long drawn out good-bye, how much Daddy's going to miss them for 2 weeks, how much he loves them and is going to miss them, how a Judge needs to decide everything now, its just causing undue stress and anxiety on the kids imo. If he didnt have the audience (me), I dont think this would happen. And I dont think a bus driver or daycare worker would allow it.
So I want to try one more time at a Motion (i'm there anyway for Section 7) to ask the Judge to do the school drop off and pick up. Someone mentioned to me, I need to position myself better for the next court round. How do I do this???
I am getting a "position" letter on this from CAS, anything else I can do?
