Asking this for my spouse.
.
He recently met with his child’s principal & teacher to get on the mailing list for events etc, and provided them with a copy of the order (ex is being very controlling and won’t give him school info or let him pick up his daughter for his parenting time- she makes him wait until she gets off work, goes and picks up child herself and then makes my spouse pickup his child at her house- which cuts his time by a good hour)
He explained to the principal how he would like to pick child up from school during his scheduled parenting times. The principal said that while they sympathize with his situation, that because his ex has sole custody and has not listed him as an authorized person to do school pick ups, that they cannot allow it. The principal told him he needs a court order for this.
My question: His court order specifically states the time that his parenting time begins at. It does not say he CANNOT pick up from school. If the child is still in the after school program at that time and the mother has not picked her up yet, then technically it is now legally his time with the child. Can the school hold his child there during his court ordered parenting time?
