Q: What are my rights? Do I have to allow him to have them?
I have sole custody of my children while their father only has visitation. He asked to switch our holiday schedule to have more time with them due to my oldest holiday break begins the 23rd. We agreed he would have them the 27th thru the 3rd thru texts. Now he is stating he wants them the 23rd thru the 27th after sour holiday arrangements have been made. He is threatening to take me to court if I don’t comply. To show up at my house with a sheriff and not leave our property until he has the girls for those dates. He continues to belittle me and yell at my in front of our children at drop offs.
A: The court-ordered parenting time must be followed. Informal changes between parents can lead to this kind of trouble. If parents make other arrangements, but then plans change, then the court-ordered time must be followed, and if not, the parent who is not complying can be held in contempt.
