Ex and I have a separation agreement that states:
1. we have joint legal custody of our daughter
2. daughter will primarily reside with the ex
3. the ex and I will arrange a schedule for my visitation time with my daughter
Since separation, rather than "visitation time", our daughter lived with each of us on a 60:40 shared living schedule for 2 years. This last year, my daughter has lived with me 50% of the time -- 2-2-3 alternating schedule.
Until recently, my ex and I were amicable and cooperative with taking care of our daughter. Recently, things have become acrimonious. I suspect because her boyfriend is going through an acrimonious separation and divorce.
Although we have joint custody, my ex makes unilateral decisions regarding our daughter.
Today, rather than discuss with me, the ex has told me she will be keeping our daughter 5 nights a week and every other weekend. That I will only get her every other weekend and 2 hours one night a week.
Does she have the right to do this even though we have joint custody? What can I do to prevent this and continue our 50:50 arrangement?
