We are still moving along at a snails pace towards getting an access schedule in place. Ex has now decided to pull the plug on my visits a couple of weeks ago, and would prefer to deny all of my access, and increase the amount of support I pay. We have an interim support order that is lower than table due to the cost of obtaining access. (She now has a LAO Lawyer)
Apparently Ex's ex-husband has EOW on my D15 as well, consequently EX isn't happy about now only having 1 weekend a month with the daughter. Yet she's happy to welcome my CS with open arms.
The tough part is I live 500km away from D15, and my job requires me to travel a fair bit. Its common to be asked on a Friday to fly out on Sunday night to be at a customer for Monday morning. My employer already gives me an accommodation to black out travel on dates when I have to bring my son in for therapy. They won't grant a second accommodation. Nor will they cover flights from the ex's local airport.
I understand that it helps to have a schedule that spells out specific dates for access. I'm curious to see if there's anyone else in a similar situation. I'm trying to come up with something that would maximize my face time with my kid. On a weekend where I have to travel, the weekend becomes drive like a banshee Friday night, spend all day Saturday with her, sleep, and race back home to get to the airport. Versus having morning and early afternoon in a normal weekend.
I don't think the ex will do anything flexible, as she's been tough to deal with.
Advice would be appreciated.
