    Just to clarify I am 3km from S4's school. Mother is about 40km away from this area (30 min drive) and insists on me doing the driving which so far has been fine.
    Ok. I was going off your original post which didn't detail the other parent's distance from the school.

    But, to be frank, a 30-minute drive is not something a court is going to fuss about. (For either parent.) Rural children and those living in Northern Ontario spend way more time on a bus to get to school.

    Also, someone in the golden horseshoe reading this forum is laughing at your 30-minute drive. (To put it into perspective.)

    The solution would be if the other parent is not home. You wait 10 minutes, then take the child back home with you and notify the other parent they can pick up the child.

    One file I have recently seen the parent who was in your shoes had the neighbor across the street call to notify when the other parent's car was in the driveway. That way they didn't even bother making the drive until the parent was back.

    Good Luck!
