Q: I get my kids every weekend. Im having car trouble and she agreed to get them only now she will not pick them up
She has custody, but there is no order as far as transportation goes. I habe been picking up amd dropping off every weekend for as long as i can remember. I recently have been having car trouble which is not safe for the kids to be transported in. I asked if sje could help out with rides for awhile. She agreed. I have been contacting her all day as to when i should have them ready and when i should expect her...she is now tellung me i need to do it and not call her again until i figure out a ride for them. I dont know what to do?
A: Normally the parent with visitation does pick up and drop off unless your agreement ( Divorce Judgment or other Judgment ) specified otherwise. Is there a visitation schedule in place that calls for a time when the visit is over? If you are not complying, you could be found in Contempt if mother files a Complaint. Your failure to return the child could be a basis for losing visitation . In some instances the police can be involved and you could be accused of kidnapping- watch out.
