Warsaw, IN asked in Family Law for Indiana

Q: I have a ten year old daughter and have custody. My ex just started a second shift job and as a result is not getting

His mid week visit. He wants to take it on my weekends. Doesn't first right of refusal apply? I keep getting hassled about it and am at the end of my rope. He was working first shift and got moved to second shift. He also does not keep a job longer than six months. I really need help. Thank you

A: He cannot force you to give up your weekends just because he started a new shift. The better way to handle this would be for him (or you) to request a modification of the custody order from the court, or for the two of you to simply work out an agreement to modify it on your own and then file that with the court.
