My STBX insinuated something against my partner’s 5 year old during a CAS investigation against her house. The CAS worker felt the situation not an issue at all (mischievous but innocent action) and deemed that it had been dealt with appropriately. Nevertheless, CAS had to add it into their report. My partner was pretty upset that this happened, especially as the CAS investigation had nothing to do with us and it looked like STBX was trying to be vindictive and steer the investigation away from her house towards us. My partner sent STBX an email stating she never wanted her to set foot in our house again or she would be charged with trespassing. She told her to wait in the car during pickups/drop-offs.
Now, STBX wants a retraction of the email and a “neutral” pickup/drop-off location as she states she was threatened. This complicates things. She refuses to drop them off at my house now and won’t even drop them off (when sick) two addresses down at a coffee shop. It has to be a five minute drive away at a location of her choosing. If I won’t meet her at that location then she says I have to drive all the way to her house to get my kids (30 minutes away) even though she will be three blocks from my house.
I’m not sure how to handle this. I can understand my partner's anger. I don't see anything wrong with remaining in the car during pickups/dropoffs. Any advice?
