Enforce court decree - don't have paperwork yet from the court
Anonymous8 views1 answers
I just got divorced 2 weeks ago. My ex husb. and I worked out an agreement. Now he's acting like he wasn't there. The most disturbing thing is that we agreed not to allow his girlfriend to be alone with the children for more than 6 hours continuously as she was arrested just a couple of weeks for fraud and resisting arrest (in front of my children), she has a rap sheet 1/2 inch thick w/criminal offenses. I can't even believe he would expose our children to a criminal. He wants to amend the decree out of court and have the children over there this Mon. and Tues. Two problems with that 1-In this county the children have school Mon. & Tues. 2-He is not off of work and says it's OK to have his girlfriend watch them, screw our agreement. Do I have to allow my chil. to go there when he's gone
Your answer all comes down to what your court ordered parenting plan states.
If its his day with the kids, he gets them. If the agreement to not allowed the ex-girlfriend around the kids is only verbal and not court ordered? he gets them. If its his day, even if he isn't going to be home, he is responsible to ensure someone is watching the children even if you don't personally agree unless there is a court order preventing that person from being with the children. unfortunately you do not get priority to watch the children on "his" court ordered days. Just as you could hire any babysitter you wanted on one of your days with the children.
If he wants to have the kids on days that are not his court ordered days he will have to petition the court to modify the agreement. Until that modification takes place, he has no right to take the children on your day unless you both mutually agree outside of court to handle that yourselves.
If you have questions about your order or complying with the parenting plan, or you would like to modify the parenting plan I suggest you speak with an attorney in your area.
