Asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Kansas

Q: Can my ex pick my daughter up on my weekend per court agreement just cause I work for few hours and she’ll be with my gf

Basically when we split 6 months ago we set visitation schedule my turns were the days she worked so from 9-2pm and no over nights because of she didn’t want mt daughter around my new girlfriend. Well then she would stop letting me see her anytime I did anything she didn’t like put pics of my gf and daughter on fb etc then she took me to court for sole custody lost and the judge set my visitation schedule as every other weekend and Wednesday-Friday 9-2 every week.

Finally got my overnights well the problem now is that if I leave my daughter with my mom for a couple hours my ex freaks out and says k can’t do that that this time is for my daughter and I that it’s my parenting time and now I work for 6 hours Saturday and it’s my weekend and my daughter was gonna be with my gf and mom while I work and shes threatening to not bring my daughter or pick her up at 2 before I work so she doesn’t be with me alone. Can she do that the judge never said she couldn’t be alone with me help I please

A: Typically, visitation agreements are established by court orders. If your court order doesn't explicitly prohibit your daughter from being with your girlfriend or being left with your mom during your scheduled parenting time, it's advisable to adhere to the terms outlined in the court order. If there's uncertainty or conflict, you might want to consult with your attorney to discuss the situation and seek clarification from the court if necessary. Keep records of any communications with your ex regarding these matters.
