Author winterpast Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 Only one correction is that he picks up our son on Sunday at 5pm and not that morning. I'm not sure on his conversations with them as far as what they think. He just says that they are part of the decision making on what they think is best. I am open to making a schedule that works for us both. But I want to make sure that it's a schedule he can stick with consistently except with normal emergency type changes. My goal is to make it functional enough to last aseason long as possible so we aren't changing things every year. I don't want him to take every other week and then decided a month or two later that it's too much and he needs me to take up more of the time or that his parents back out and he needs me to step in. 1
Angelica21 Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Absolutely, absolutely! That's exactly why every other week for a full week is not something you should agree to in the written JPA. A mandate of every other weekend is totally, totally reasonable and "should" make everyone happy, even though it probably won't make everyone happy. As I pointed out earlier, if the agreement mandates every other weekend and he sticks with that, then great! Then, as an option that's not mandated, you can make arrangements with your ex-husband for your son to stay with him for a full week sometimes.
Author winterpast Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 I definitely have to really think about all of this. I have an appointment with my lawyer this weekto get her opinion on it. I was thinking tonight at work that I feel like I will never really be able to coparent with him with his parents so involved. It's making it harder to come to a solution for sure.
