Q: I reside with my wife in South Korea (she is active duty) last November I flew to TN where I obtained full custody of my
Son and daughter. They reside with us in S. Korea now. My ex wife has supervised visitation two times a year. I have to fly the kids back in April for her visitation and we have the final parenting plan hearing (I currently do not receive child support it was an emergency hearing) is it fair to ask for her to pay for half of the plan tickets? It cost me about $5,000 to fly them back, rent a place to stay and get a rental car for a week. I would also like to ask that she is drug free for 6 months before visitation. Is this reasonable? The kids are no longer with her because she was positive in a court orders drug test, no job, no home for the kids, and got arrested for stealing. She currently doesn’t work.
A: You may certainly ask, that seems reasonable. However, if your ex has no job, no home, and was recently arrested I do not really see how she could pay. I recommend you consider consulting with an experienced family law attorney if you have additional questions. Good luck!
