I have physical custody, we have joint legal custody of our two kids, ages 12 and 8. I live 7 hours away from where their dad lives. This makes normal arrangements difficult with school, work, etc. He has not seen them at all since July, and they have had many days off from school in order to visit with him, he puts forth no effort. He rarely returns calls the kids make to him, normally about one call for every 4 or 5 messages left by them. So,I have been calling regarding Holiday plans since November. I told him the kids had activities on the 21st, 22nd,and the Christmas Eve Play at Church that they wanted to be involved in, therefore, could we arrange something from the 26th of Dec through the 6th of Jan. After at least two weeks with no response we made our plans. He calls two days ago and says, he can only get time off 21-26, (LIE, I know he gets the next weekend off too) so my plans will not work. Now kids are sad and I feel stuck- cancel activities, or tell dad to work it out?
