I am back again with the need for some words of wisdom for my husband. He gave notice to his ex, in writing back in March, indicating which week of christmas break from school he would be taking. Their order states the two weeks off school are to be split. She had first choice last year. This past weekend she tells him that he can't have her for the week and wants her back on the Wednesday. They had a pretty big argument & he refused. When he pointed out that she was notified of this back in March she made a point of telling him she didn't agree to it. Nor did she disagree to it. Anyways, a few hours later she calls him to apologize and agrees to what he originally asked for.
Well today she called again. She has changed her mind again and is now asking for the child to be returned two days early as she has plans for new years eve that cant be changed & the child is supposedly upset at missing out on them due to her being with her father.
I told my husband that upsetting their daughter was completely preventable by the mother if she had just respected his time with her. She has known for almost 10 months that their daughter would be with her dad. We also have made plans new years eve for both our kids as well as for new years day. The child expressed excitement to us and her mother about these plans.
My advice to him is to stick to his guns. Their daughter won't be upset once she is with her dad with all the things we have planned for her. I suggested that he remind her that he gave her almost 10 months notice. That the situation would be preventable if she would respect his time with their daughter & make it clear that he would have her home on the date stated in the letter.
Can he get an emergency order to make her abide by this?
