Q: Do I have a right to not send my kids back?
My ex husband has visitation on Wednesday and every other weekend. On two occasions in the past month he has kicked our 14 year old out of his house ending with me having to pick him up. Do I legally have to send him back since he told him to leave? I’m fine if he wants to take me back to court for it, i just don’t want to have my children taken from me being in contempt.
A: You are under a legal obligation to follow the current parenting plan. If your ex is refusing visitation or kicking the child out, then you have grounds for a Modification. Talk to an attorney local to you to assist you.
