I have full custody of my 7 yr old. Her mother has weekend visits and wednesday visits. Currently her vehicle has a busted out window in the back where my child sits and her other vehicle is a full size van with no passenger seats. Do I let her go with her. It is like freezing outside and her mother lives on the other side of Indy. I am not sure what my rights are has a father.

I wonder whether this isn't a "shoe's on the other foot now" question intended to find out what the feminists will say when it's the WOMAN trying to exercise her visitation rights.

If it were the other way around, as it usually is, would the concern be the same, or different?

Would any of the ladies who answered with the suggestion that the father should buy a new window for the mother's car also suggest the reverse? Would they suggest that the MOTHER pony up for buying a replacement window on the father's car, if the roles were reversed?

I doubt it. Money's supposed to flow between men and women in only one direction, don't you know; it's almost sacrilege when someone proposes that a woman pay to have a man's car fixed so that the man can enjoy his rights.

How many of you snippy quipping, ostensibly pro-"gender equality," feminists would actually support laws requiring that judges remain ignorant, in child custody cases, of which party was the mother and which was the father, until after the court's decision was read and recorded? Not many, I bet. That's because feminists have never been in favor of justice; rather, at all times they have been for female advantage and female dominance.

NO, wait. At the top strategic level within feminism, where feminism meets Zionism, that's not correct. Feminism's purpose has been to drive an antagonistic wedge between men and women. Feminism is gender Marxism. Somebody wants to conquer us, both genders, and dividing us against each other is an essential part of the conqueror's strategy.

My opinion is that the broken window probably isn't as much of a hazard to the girl as the father (?) is making it out to be. I doubt that any glass will cut her. It is safety glass, you know: the kind that cracks into a zillion little pieces that are blunt fragments, not sharp shards. Otherwise the rest of the window could be rolled down or broken away, and the car window temporarily sealed with plastic.

I'm a divorced father of a now-grown-up-and-married daughter. I was unjustly slighted in the custody hearings by the law itself. At that time, the Code of Georgia had a law stating: "There shall be no prima facie right to child custody vested in the father." Now that I've missed by chance to be a daddy, I'm also missing my chance to be a granddaddy to my two grandsons. My family's side of my daughter's ancestry has been firmly cast into Shadow Mode by my ex-wife's side of the family, and that law in Georgia was the trigger that let them make it happen.

I've been cheated of what could be life's greatest treasure, and I'm bitter about it. But I still have my sense of fairplay. That broken window probably isn't sufficient reason to deny the ex-wife (?) a session of court-awarded visitation.

You can not deny the mother her visitation rights, if you do then you are in contempt of court. Bundle her up well, offer to help her put plastic over the window do what you can on your end to help but you can not stop visitation. Next thing you'll attempt is stopping the mother from taking the child when you don't like the new boyfriend? Furthermore I live in North Dakota a place with winters far more sever then there in Indy. If you allow your child to go outside and play then whats the big deal about a broken window if it has plastic over it? A window will not cause immediate physical or mental harm to the child. Maybe if you are SO concerned about the window you should drive the child to see her mom.

Unless you are going to fix it yourself, which you should do if you are worried about your child, just ask her hey it's getting cold out, when is the window going fix? My father used to live in Indiana and my grandfather still does, My dad took a shower everyday before school and when it was cold out his hair turned into hair icicles. I would make she with your 7 yr old that if she is cold that she needs to tell you. If your ex won't fix it, ask your state child services if you have any rights to hold visitations until the window is fix. She is crazy and she knows it gets very cold in Indiana, and maybe your child could get very sick. Just go through those steps and see how it goes.

I can't see a court holding that against the mother but! call and ask your local domestic court clerk and see what they have to say. I would think the mother wouldn't want her daughter to be cold but then some don't care when it comes to wanting to spend time with the child. Maybe ask her to keep the heat on and have your daughter bundled up. It may be a traffic violation to drive with a broken window also. Call your local DMV and ask.

and what would you do if it was your car and you had to take the kid somewhere? jacket and hat and gloves and a big ol' garbage bag taped in the window right?? so there ya go. thats what you do. at least she isnt taking the kid in the van with no seats. why dont you help her out if you have such a problem with it? if you say she cant take the kid, she's going to call her lawyer and probably press charges about you keeping the kid from her. be a man and help out the poor woman if you dont want your kid in the car. but its just a window. all our lives we have been forced to sit out in the snow and ice waiting for the school bus, i used to do it with wet hair. it would freeze to my head by the time i got to school!!! its not like the bus had heat (that worked at least). so whats the difference??

For your daughters safety, why dont you step up to the plate and have the window replaced? That way she does not have to lose out on spending time with her mother. Remember, she is a child and has different feelings for her mother than you do.

You should talk to the case worker/attourney and maybe be nice about it and suggest that the window needs to be fixed becaus eshe may get sick. If she really wants to spend time with her, maybe she will get someone to bring her to pick her up. Of course if you are concerned about her welfare, then you could drive the daughter to her mother's house for visitation. Sounds to me like you are trying to find excuses for her not to see the dtr.

if you are the dad,as I guess fromwhat i'mreading,why is your nickname Jennifer?? ..........anyway....I would not let her go until that window is broken, besides form the cold,a piece of that window could fall and do serious damage to her. There's nothing wrong with letting your child spend time with her mother,just tell her you are concerned and she needs to fix that window if she wants to take your kid out.

Wow, that is crazy! It definitely seems like a health issue. Can you help her fix the window (i.e. donate money for that). You prob can't stop her from taking her but at least you can know she won't freeze to death on her visit. Good luck!

If the mothers ride is a safety issue for you perhaps you yourself should provide a ride for your daughter to visit her mother After all the visitation is beneficial to your daughter. It is your daughters right to have visits with her mother it is benificial to her.
