Q: my children's father is in the hospital, do I have to send my kids for his time with his wife if he isn't there?
my children hate going there in the first place, the house is always filthy as my ex and his wife leave it a mess and leave it to pile up for our kids to clean it when they have to go to his house. He has been in the hospital for the past few days, my kids absolutely do not want to go. This is taking an emotional toll on our kids as they feel like he only wants them there to clean his house. The living conditions sounds that of a hoarders house (piled up dishes with dried food on them, soda cans all over the back yard and wont let the kids inside the house till they pick up all the soda cans they (not the children) threw out there, their laundry pilled up all week for the kids to do).
A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. If there is a court order allowing him parenting time, then you have to send the children. If you feel that a modification of parenting time is warranted, then you may be able to request a modification.
