should i be allowed to have my kids over night one day a week?

Question

i see my kids 3 days a week and i would like to have my twins over night one of those days each week but she seems to have a prob with that

Answer 1

Yes, you have every right to overnights with your children. You have a right to your children 50% of the time. She doesn't own them.

Go to court for a modification of your custody agreement requesting overights or more. If it is already in your agreement, and she just isn't allowing it, file contempt charges.

If you don't have an agreement in court, file for one immediately - joint custody both physical & legal.

Answer 2

You are entitled to equal time with the kids, unless it is not in their best interest.
I have been divorced since my son was 6 and my daughter was 3.
My son is now 18 and she is 15.
My son lives with me all the time and visits his mother once a week, but rarely spends the night there (his choice).
My daughter spends 2 or 3 weekdays a week and every other weekend with me.
All day and all night.
It has always been like that and I would never accept it any other way.
Too bad if your ex has a problem with it, she'll get over it in time.
You could always offer for her to spend the night at your place when the kids do, if she wants to and you're OK with it.
Just make it perfectly clear that since you are no longer married, she cannot expect to sleep in your bed without giving you a little something to help you fall asleep!
If not, she can stay home and handle her problems all by herself and pick up the kids in a day or two!
They are just as much your kids are they are hers and you better make that perfectly clear RIGHT NOW!

Answer 3

I don"t know where your from, but it depends on the order you have, 1. if you are divorce, your papers will have visitations rights. 2. if you were never married, you should have a order because you are paying child support to her and you would have visitations on the days or every weekends when you are taken the children. If you don't have any , "Honey, you better get one, you would need too see a lawyer that specializes in child support and visitation rights. Believe me my husband went through this with trying to see his daughter and mind you, he had divorce papers with their agreements on visits for every weekend and holidays and school vacations . That was like pulling teeth, she never wanted him too take her. But she always wanted her child support money. So, protect your rights and stay legal with these matters.

Answer 4

What does the court order of custody/visitation you have say? READ your court papers that you signed...everything is in there. No two divorces are alike and whatever is in YOUR court papers is what YOU and your ex go by. If it says you only get them during the day and you want them overnight you will have to go to court and have the custody/visitation order amended.

Answer 5

what does the divorce/visitation agreement say? or aren't you divorced yet?

you need to get with your attorney and let him know that you want visitation for a certain number of days (say from thursday through saturday every week) visitation and that you would like it to go through the courts so it's set in stone.

Answer 6

Call your attorney and get visitation revised.

good for you for wanting to see your kids.

Answer 7

I think it is a reasonable request...I would suggest that you talk with your attorney....I am assuming that you are divorced or are in the process of divorce.

Answer 8

This must be in writing and will have to go before the judge.

Answer 9

Is there a court order?
If there is she doesn't have to let you have anymore then what it says.
If there isn't you may want to try to get one

Answer 10

I don't know you so I don't know if you should have them overnight. If she has custody, however, it's up to her, not us.

The only thing you could do is go back to court to request overnight visitations.
