My ex called the police when I knocked several times on her door to pick up my children for a planned two week vacation. She refused to answer the door, called me on my cell asking what I wanted. I explained this was the pre-arranged time to exchange the children. She denied this and produced a schedule that she altered and then printed to show me, which indicated an exchange taking place a day later. I live a block away so went home and printed off the correct schedule, and dropped it off at her house. I returned home and tried calling and texting several times to discuss, telling her to stop the trickery and to drop off the children.
After no response I gave up, and went downtown to run some errands. 1.5 hours later I got a voicemail and text saying the children were outside of my house waiting for me. I responded saying I would be home in 20 minutes. I texted her when I returned, and she and two police officers escorted my children to my door.
The police asked to come into my house to discuss, saying that my ex did not appreciate my tone, but that she now admitted that she had the wrong day. The police said someone would be following up with me in a few days. No one has yet.
I was in disbelief. I told the police she is either incredibly dishonest, or incredibly unorganized, neither of which is acceptable.
I am so upset that she put my children through this.
Question: How do I document this so that the true facts are laid out? I fully expect her to attempt to leverage this somehow in future proceedings and feel I need to protect myself.
