That's just crazy talk. Get your reasonable offer in writing. Get her refusal in writing. Then, when/if she brings it to court, she's going to get lectured about wasting the court's time. And the whole thing will get thrown out.
It goes without saying that your child shouldn't hear you complain about this even once. Not his problem. At all. This is between the two of you, only.

Is there a court order as to when and where the child is picked up by his parent? If so, I imagine that if the court order states that she is allowed to pick up your son from school then it probably also states that other arrangements for said pickup need to be made for summer vacation.
I don't think that you are being unreasonable. You have to work during the day and can't take time off just to bring your son to the school nor should you have to find someone else to do so. You have given her two reasonable choices of having him for an extra day or picking him up from another location. If she wants to bring this to court it will be her that will be made a fool of and seen as ridiculous. In fact, your ex probably knows that she has no case against you and is only using threats and fear tactics to get her way.

I would make arrangements for someone to wait at the school with your child until the other parent picks him up. I would pay this person for doing this and keep receipts. In the mean time contact a lawyer and tell him what is going on. I'm sure he can get it where the other parent picks him up at a reasonable place or pays for someone to stay with your son until the other parent picks him up at the school. I'm sure this is something that could be cleared up as simple as your lawer calling the other parents lawer.

I imagine you went through the Friend of the Court? If so the best thing to do would be to call them and tell them the situation. Obviously she is being completely unreasonable and ridiculous, but see what the friend of the court suggests you do about it. That way she can no longer hold the threat over your head about taking you to court either. Good luck to you.

call the mediator or lawyer that was handling the case to see if the order can be modified read over your papers carefully make sure that it's not only for school time for the pick . then write a letter to the other parent on where and why they need to pick the child at that location then send certified mail you need to make two of them one to the other parent and one to yourself but don't open it so if they try to hit you with contempt you can show the you gave them notice

they are being totally unreasonable. the child should not be left alone at a building that isn't even open for safety sake. let them ***** all they want. if seeing your son is that important to them, they'll pick him up where it's safe.
