What would you do? My ex has every other weekend visitation, however, he has not seen her since december 2007 ( she is 8). If and when he calls for her, what is the law? Do I have to send her? Right now I don't know where he lives. He called the beginning of July and wanted to meet to talk about where he has been, and what has been going on but "he couldn;t get into it over the phone" He wanted to know when my next day off work was, I told him I wasn't willing to tell him my work schedule. He said then he would call back. And he hasn't yet. I don't trust him- too much to go into ( I used to sue 'atwitsend' on this forum so you can read all my other post. He ( short story) has a bad temper and my daughter has acted out each and every time he comes back into her life. Would I legally get in trouble if I don't send her to her dad's? after that long. |

I think you are well within your rights to not send your daughter if he requests that you do. I think if he is serious about seeing his daughter then he needs to make the effort to rebuild his relationship with her. If he should get stroppy with you and threaten you with the courts (as my daughters father did in the past) if you don't let him take her for a weekend, let him do it, he doesn't have a leg to stand on! Its his responsibility to prove to you he is trustworthy and to your daughter that he is interested in getting to know her again. If you wanted to and your daughter agreed you could allow him supervised contact. Supervised by you or a friend or relative. They or you could perhaps be in the house (if you didnt mind it being at your home) could stay upstairs or in another room so you daughter knew someone was there if she needed them. I have done that with my daughter on occasions because they felt apprehensive about seeing their father alone. Goodluck i hope it goes well. |

Well, heres the update. Her father passed away three days after Christmas. So that worry is no longer an issue. I just have to do what is right for her. I have to present him like a great guy- so she has only good memories, when the contrary is true. |
