Parents who interfere with access are failing to act in the best interests of their own child and are in fact failing in their duties as parents.
My weekly parenting time was to start today however my ex kept our 9 yr. old son at her place claiming he did not have a good night as he was distraught about staying with his dad for the week. She lives 30 mins. away and the exchange place is at the school = end of day Monday. I asked her where and when I could get our son, and she claimed that he did not want to stay with me.
I informed her she has a moral and legal responsibility to provide our son to me for my parenting time, and she stood firm that it is our son's wish. The job of a parent is to parent. I am very upset and did inquire with the police. They will respond if there is a court order or detailed separation agreement.
We completed mediation last year, however, no signed SA was secured as my ex refused to sign the final version. I have utilized a lawyer for a while with alot of paperwork flowing back and forth, a self-rep urgent notice of motion and a case conference. No outputs, and a sizable legal bill. Disenchanted preparing a defense labelled as a bad guy (married 13 yrs.)
My ex stated tonight: if our son feels better tomorrow, she will take him to school, however she plans on picking him up after school because he does not want to go to my house. If he changes his mind at any point, she will advise me (evident control issue).
I am our son's father, and our son has a right to enjoy a relationship with his father based on the agreed upon status quo EOW. (documented in legal submissions as part of the Continuing Record and uncontested by her lawyer) she continues to manipulate our son, which is clearly wrong. Preventing him from having a relationship with me on my parenting time is also wrong.
I have provided the school with a summary page outlining the EOW schedule which shows Nov. 26 as dad's week. I do not intend on them enforcing it. Should there be a showdown, I am prepared to alert the principal to the situation, and mention I will be there to pick up my son as it is my parenting week.
Suggestions on how to to deal with the inappropriate behaviour of the High Conflict OP?
