On may 9th 2011 i attended a case conference for weekend visitation of my daughter with her mother there were some concerns and at that time I felt it best to not allow this. I have since been told that unless i can produce evidence to support this that it will not hold in court. My daughter does not feel comfortable enough with C.A.S. to disclose what happens to her so I'm being advised to send her for weekend visits. I told my Ex this and her lawyer sent me an offer to settle but has asked that i be responsible for all transportation and cost of travel both ways. She is stating that i previously assured her that she wouldn't have to worry about it. I never once stated that fact and as I don't own a vehicle and either have to rent or borrow one this could become quite costly. My Ex owns a vehicle that she claims isn't capable of long distance travel and breaks down frequently. She also claims that she is a stay at home mom and her husband is unemployed and they are on social assistance.
Also she has asked that i drop my daughter off there at 5pm on Friday and pick her up Sunday at 4pm
This is quite troubling to me as my daughter doesn't get home from school till 4pm we work until 5-6pm and it takes 2 to 2 and a half hours to travel there. I would then have to remove my daughter from school early and schedule time off work every other week just to meet that time line and that could very well put our jobs at jeopardy.
Is it likely that a judge would order costs at my expense for travel both ways and what if anything could i do about the drop off time?
