Q: Hi, this is a follow up to my previous question. My children are 8 and 6. Their father has them every other weekend and two nights during the week. It is down between the lawyers that he needs to take them to their activities, birthday parties, etc and so when it is his time. What can you do about this? It is not fair to my children to miss their activities and birthday parties. I am trying to keep their lives as normal as possible. I cant begin to count how many times my son has missed karate because his father did not take him. Or my daughter missing out on dance!. How fair is that to them? Also, how many birthday parties they didn't attend because they were with their father and he couldn't be bothered to take them . He didn't want to spend time with the mothers! Please advise.
A: David's Answer: You should file a petition to hold him in violation of the order, if by "down between the lawyers" you mean a court order. If there's no court order requiring him to take the kids to the activities, you'll have to file a modification petition & ask for the order to be that specific. -- David Bliven, Westchester Child Custody lawyer (www.blivenlaw.net)
