My Ex gets my daughters on Friday until Sunday Evening every other weekend. Is it legal or right for him to leave Saturday afternoon for the weekend with his live in girlfriend and drop my kids off at her families house for the rest of his weekend?
When you are awarded weekend visitations are YOU supposed to actually be there for them? Or can he ship them off where ever he likes "cause it's HIS weekend?"

well actually i have been to court for this and have been told that your ex can do that if he wants as long as he has someone there to watch the kids and not leave them alone or with someone not known to the child, who cares if they dont know you or you dont know them, as long as the child knows the babysitter. it is his weekend and if he wants to be away from his kids on his weekend then he could.you have your weekends and he has his, he could do that if he wants and so can you.good luck.

As long as they are in no danger he can do that. When it`s his weekend and he picks them up he has the rights with them if it poses no danger or harm to the kids. Some laws vary from state to state but in Florida when the non custodial parent picks up the kids he /she can do what they want as long as the children are not in harms way or subjected to any unlawful acts or taken out of state. Sucks but it`s true!! We go threw the same thing every other weekend ourselves. Been to court many times and nothing you can do here. Ther father picks them up and takes them home and they rome the streets and are never where they say there going to be but a judge says it`s ok unless it poses some danger to the child or they are in an unfit place of being.

Here you go again your question going both ways..I really don't think there is nothing that can be done as long as the children are taken care of...As far as being right well no its not right that he does that at all...I sure hope this has not happened that much...What a shame a father cant spend 4 days a month with his girls...I do hope he wakes up and realizes what he is doing to the young ones..He can never go back!!!
Good luck to you hope it gets better...Smiles

Depending on what state your custody order is in you may seek to change the visitation. However unless and until you change the order he can do pretty much whatever he wants to with his time. The kid will suffer in the long run and will remember the abandonment. Actually do you give him a veto over what you do with the kid while they are in your custody? Would you want to?

What state are you talking about and I'll interject a no to that based on general law regarding non custodial visitation responsibilities. If you'll provide the state in an edit to your question then I'll provide the exact information.

You'll have to check the visitation agreement, but I'm pretty sure he's not allowed to leave the kids with anyone, except maybe his immediate family. It's probably not wise, or safe to leave them with someone else's family, even if they have good intentions.

No it is not a per the court order he is supposed to have them if something happens to them while they are at her families house they will ultimately blame you for allowing themto go knowing he was leaving them! I think you need to go back to court and make the judge aware of what is going on and let him/her deligate what needs to be done!

its not right that he does that...it just depends what was agreed on in the divorce decree..check with your lawyer..he or she just cant do whatever he wants to with the kids..what if something happens to them?? his g/f would not have the legal authority over them at all!
