In my divorce papers it said every other weekend of every month beginning at 7pm on friday and ending at 4pm on sunday. Now he wants to take me to court to get me to drive the kids to where he move to , i dont think that a judge would ask me to do that ,he is the one that moved and the kids have lived here all there lifes,they are two teenagers. how lazy is ther father. Should i go to court and file papers to have this changed,so he cant do this to me anymore.

I think you may have to do either one way or 1/2 way both ways. That is how mine worked when I was the one that moved and I have the kids. He had to meet me 1/2 way.

If he does take you to court have the children speak on their own behalf have them say how they don't wish to move their friends school the things they are familiar with. you say they are teens it's not like they're little I believe the judge will listen. Sounds like a bad father putting his interest above his children. I wish you and the kids the best in this. I hope it works out.

Go back to your divorce atty. only after he files papers, he may just be blowing smoke. You may want to give your atty. an idea the papers may be coming, because if and when the decree is reopened you may get more child support, If he hasn't honored the decree then start making notes of times and dates he doesn't pick them up,late etc. so you have some proof when you go to court.
Hope this helps

If he has moved then you should go back to court and change the visitation agreement to include picking up and dropping the kids back off.

first off, how old are the kids. if they are old enough to tell you if they want to visit him then see about them telling the judge if they want anything to do with their dad as far as seeing him.check your divorce papers to see if he is to stay in a certain distance so that you both are close for the visits.
he is the one moving so he should be the one picking them up and dropping them off.check with your lawyer and stand up too him, sounds like he is trying to control you although your not married anymore. good luck!!!

you didn't say what parent the kids live with, so I'm assuming they live with you . If he wants to see the kids on his weekend, then he'll have to come get them and drop them back off at your house. If he doesn't come for the kids, then he just missed out on his weekend.

What he can do and what you'll end up with is both parents are to meet half-way at a meeting place (example gas station) if this goes to court.
Is this REALLY worth the battle? Sounds to me your EX doesn't even get to see his children enough. Seriously, you really need to pick and choose your battles.

You could. Maybe they can get it 1/2 and 1/2 so that way you dont have to spend all the gas money.

Why don't you get along and meet half way. Who cares about who is right just make it easier for the kids and not yourselfs.

He don't have a car? why do you have to drive them, Maybe you could meet him in the middle somewhere. Or have the kid's talk to him, some time the kid's can sooth things between par nets.
