Going to give you all some information and then ask for a bit of feedback and dont be afraid to be critical if you feel its called for.
Situation is this: I am a divorced father with custody of my 4 year old son. My ex has "reasonable visitation" which in the state I live in generally means every other weekend and 2 weeks in the summer. We live about 20 miles apart in the same general area. To avoid any bias for those of you who choose to respond that is all the information Ill give out. Here are the questions:
1) For those of you who have step-kids or are divorced parents yourselves, does the non-custodial parent pick up and drop the child off when they have their visitation? It was always my understanding that the non-custodial parent was responsible for getting their child and bringing them back. Yes? No?
2) If the custodial parent agrees to meet somewhere to pick the child up when visitation is over is it an unreasonable request that the non-custodial parent contact the custodial parent and give a time and place more than a few hours in advance, like say calling the night before to set up the drop off.
For those of you who can read between the lines Ive had issues with my ex over the two above questions. I had always said that I didnt want to be "one of those" divorced couples who hate each other and have a hard time being civil, but it seems our relationship seems to be deteriorating and its hard to always be the "nice one" who gives in all the time while asking for very little in return.
Anyway next blog will be something a little more less serious. Thanks for listening.
