He has never kept her for more than 4 days before. I am getting really nervous about it. It seems like two weeks is an awfully long time for a child of 2 who has been raised completely by me for her entire life. He moved out of our home when she was barely a year old and has only had weekend visitation. He is also living with a woman who I have never met, but has already verbalized that she wants nothing to do with children, especially mine.

just to add.. i found out that he took her to work with him from oklahoma to texas two days in a row, then he took her at 2 oclock in the morning to his OTHER job in a mechanics shop, he doesnt remember when he left the shop. does a 2 year old belong at a semi maintenance shop at 2am while he works?

Five minutes is an eternity to a child who has no concept of time. This will be good for her to bond with her father. You should encourage her to love him and stop feeling like your the only parent who is entitled to her. She will need you both. So, do what you can to keep him in her life.

No. He is her father, and he has a right to see her just as much as you do. You have her for two weeks at a time all the time, and if he has kept up weekend visitation for a year then he obviously wants to be a part of her life, and has been raising her as much as he has been able to.
I believe that ALL parents [that are not abusive] should have 50/50 parenting time, and that anything less is not only NOT excessive but is actually unfair to the non-custodial parent.

Well, don't panic, but I hear you. Surely you can call and talk to the baby, she is too young to understand her dads g.f. is a fool so that's a plus.. As long as her needs are met, and he is a happy man, she should be alright. 2 year olds are so adorable she'll probably win that woman over. If not, do not worry, try to keep busy- time will fly by.

Why on earth did you let your baby go for two full weeks? Especially if she's in a house with a live-in girlfriend who doesn't like children. I wouldn't have done that. You do need to worry, because she isn't old enough to tell you if things are going on that she doesn't like. I would call her on the phone every evening and ask her if she's okay. If she cries, go get her.

It incredibly relies upon on the place you reside. i think of its honest to pay $25.00 an afternoon for 9 hours. it is what I unquestionably have paid a daycare and a private sitter. although, this became in North Carolina. i might think of in case you reside in an more suitable priced section it would be extra. call around to three daycare centers and ask their expenditures. you ought to get a minimum of as much as they do in view which you're giving extra very own and direct interest to the toddler. A daycare has 10-15 young little ones consistent with room with one instructor. it incredibly is universal to less expensive some for various little ones from an identical family members, although, $70.00 a week for 3 young little ones is loopy, everywhere! This lady is taking benefit of you. She's a mooch and you could desire to renounce in the previous: - the days grow to be overnights - She has surgeon appt. - desires to pass grocery paying for My factor is; it is the crimson flag!!!!!!! in case you do no longer positioned your foot down now, she would manage to maintain taking benefit and it will in basic terms replace into worse. it could even initiate costing you cash to "babysit". I unquestionably have seen this too many situations to count selection.

Yes, 2 full weeks does seem too long If he has only been allowed weekend visitation! Why would you agree to let him take her for 2 full weeks.....especially if you have never met his shack-up honey?

Aw, poor baby! That's going to be hard for her to be away from you that long. My husband and I are still togethr, but it would STILL be hard for my daughter to be with just him for 2 weeks. Not to mention it would kill me! Ack!
I agree with the other post - see if it can be split up. Plus, does he really WANT her for two weeks? Ask him. Maybe he'd be happy to make it shorter.
Try not to worry too much about the other woman (I know it's hard). Trust your ex to be a good father and to not let any woman mistreat his child. For your sanity.

doubt there is anything you can do. Wheather you wanted the divorce or you didn't, he gets the 2 weeks unless you can prove to a court a reson why it should be denied to him.
