"Dear Mom,
Thank you for your message of [date]. The existing court order does not require me to transport Kid both to and from your home during my parenting time [assuming this is true - quote the exact words from your order if possible]. In the absence of a court order governing transportation, the most equitable practice is to share the driving equally. This is also consistent with our established practice to date. Therefore I will pick up [Kid] from [place] at [time] on [date] to begin my parenting time. I will ensure that Kid is ready to be picked up from [place] at [time] on [date] so that you or someone delegated by you can bring her to your home.
With respect to this weekend, thank you for your flexibility. It would be fine with me if you or someone you delegate wants to pick up Kid at [place] at [time before bedtime].
With respect to counselling for Kid, I am willing to consider it. Please provide me with a list of professionals whom you would find acceptable so that I may contact them to guide our decisions about Kid.
With respect to 50/50 parenting, I continue to believe that this arrangement is in the best interest of Kid.
Sincerely,
Dad"
Don't call CAS. There's no evidence that Kid is being neglected or abused at Mom's, and that's the only thing that would warrant getting CAS involved. You'll just look vindictive.
