I am pretty sure I know the answer but can someone please clarify for me. Some background...
Parents separated 6 years
2 children S10 and D7
Children played baseball about 3 years ago but only did one season
No other activities that are shared between the parents
Parents live about 1.5 hours away
Dad has EOW
Mom has a new partner. Him and his daughter play a winter sport. Kids have never shown interest in this sport. Mom wants to sign the kids up for this sport so they can play with the new partners daughter. The cost is about $500 per child plus equipment.
Dad isn't opposed to the kids playing if mom wants to sign them up, however with having only EOW he doesn't want to be forced to spend all his weekends at this sport. Some games would end up being 2.5 hours away from Dads house.
Their agreement states that dad will ensure the kids make it to their extracurricular activities on his time provided he agreed to the activity. I don't think that clause it totally enforceable but what do others do in this situation?
Mom wants to split the cost equally. Mom makes about $15000 more than dad a year. Dad asked both kids, one said they wouldn't mind trying it the other said they did not want to play. Dad doesn't want to be funding this family sport for mom and her new spouse or be forced to drive 2.5 hours to attend a game if the kids are really not into it.
