Q: My ex has not responded and I want to change my original offer for time sharing can I fix it upon filing for default?
We had a verbal agreement for about a year it would change slightly more and more until I went to establish an order in writing (so he could no longer deviate) and as soon as he was served he stopped seeing the kids completely. My original offer was our verbal agreement, however, now there isnt anything as he doesnt see them going on 16 days now. What should I do?
A: File a parenting plan with exactly what you want. If he defaults then you get what you want until he chooses to come to court.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: You have the right to amend your petition before the Respondent files a responsive pleading. Once he responds you have 21 days to amend the petition with either his consent or court order.
