The temp order says BF gets every Thursday but does not stipulate when, where, or how long. So this is BF's weekend anyway so earlier this week, BF asked BM if he could pick up their son this evening to begin his weekend. BM responds - Thursday is not an overnight, your time starts on Friday. BF wrote back that he felt it was better for their son to not have to spend so much time in the car 2 days in a row so it would be better to just start his weekend today since it was his day anyway. BM would only be "missing" 4 awake hours with baby. BM responds - you can pick him up from daycare Thursday afternoon and bring him home before his bedtime. This would require BF to take at least 4 hours off of work - which he cannot afford due to the huge amount of CS he pays and no court would order a parent to take time off of work to exercise their parenting time - plus he would be doing all the driving. BF asked of BM would either drop off or pick up baby at BF's parents house - its close to BM's house - on the Thursdays that BF does not have a weekend. BF has no problem getting to his parents house to see his son if BM would help with the driving. So far, BM has not responded to this request and never replied to BF again asking if he could start his parenting time this evening.

So we are back to almost square one. It is BM's way, unless it is specifically court ordered, or no way or BF does all the work. I told BF if this keeps happening that he needs to get his attorney involved. Custody evaluation starts soon, but not soon enough as far as I am concerned.

Anyone suggestions?
