Q: Does the Petitioner's request that the Respondent provide proof of valid DL before every child exchange seem reasonable?
First, this is part of a proposed temporary parenting agreement in lieu of a final order. However, the Petitioner has been withholding the child from the Respondent for over a year in the absence of orders, and has justified this with a list of entirely false but severe allegations. That said, the Petitioner has been allowed to be the de-facto primary parent by default, and has enjoyed complete control over the situation and has abused this control many times, including legitimate harassments, threats, stalking, and so on. Being powerless without recourse and desperate for any opportunity to connect with the child, the Respondent has consistently conceded to every random 'rule' and whim of the Petitioner, no matter how irrational, unfair, degrading, and even delusional (e.g. 'punishing' the Respondent for breaking a 'rule' that literally never existed). So not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but is requiring this proof more condescension and control, or is it boilerplate and fair?
A:
What's the basis of the request? Under what condition does this requirement ever end?
A never-ending baseless DL requirement is dracanion and unreasonable.

A: It does not reasonable from the facts that you have stated. If in the past you lost your driver’s license then the court could order what she is requesting. If not, then there is no reason for there to be a restriction on your parenting time.
