I'd really like some advice from people who's had to deal with similar situations. Am I being reasonable or should I just "move on"?
I have joint custody of 1 child who is 15 years old, equal share of time.
My issues are that when it comes to holidays or other events, there is a pattern of alienation and I'm always left with little or no access.
In past years, March break is generally alternated. However if I'm not traveling on my year, my ex insists that the child be with them and generally just keeps child regardless of what I say. This year my ex says "they have plans" however child knows nothing about it, says that they are travelling. They insist on keeping the child over March break, the weekend before and the weekend after. I'm not really happy about it, as I have a blended family and our weekends are generally planned well in advance.
Summer holidays follow a similar pattern It's generally ignoring the court order, taking the time and saying "too bad". Last year, ex kept child on my agreed upon schedule, and the child missed a good portion of our family vacation as a result.
My experience so far with the courts haven't been great. I've attempted medication, counselling, etc... it's been a "my way or the high way" attitude so far... Any suggestions on options?
Thanks in advance
