Oak Lawn, IL asked in Child Custody and Divorce for Illinois

Q: Nothing legal in place. we have a schedule. Should I allow her BF of 4 months get our kid from school when I can myself?

BF=boyfriend. Nothing legal is in place we both have our daughter about the same time. I have her a little more often if anything. Does it look bad if I allow her boyfriend to get our daughter from school when I am available to do so. This is on her day she would normally have our daughter but it will be just him picking her up and she won't be home for a couple hours after that. Do I let him or do I get her? What's better for my situation in the long run?

A: Does it look bad? To whom would it look bad if nothing legal is in motion? If you feel you have a solid co-parenting relationship with the child's mother, then it really shouldn't make any long run difference if the BF picks up the child as described.
