That happened with me and my ex, so I took him to court for "modification of child visitation" and told the judge he constantly let my children down, and they waited by the door, crying. He issued a NEW order for ONE day a week, every other week with supervision, and if he did not comply he was in contempt. GO FOR IT

Mine showed up late every weekend. (I'm the dad who wants to see his kids... Not many around like me from what i can see.) We had a designated drop off point to exchange the kids. She told me she was deliberately late (cuz she didn't like my pickup time THAT SHE AGREED TO) so I told her to bring 'em to my house next time so she could be as late as she wanted. She naturally refused and I had to forfeit my weekend. I got a call from my kids and had to tell them whats up cuz she placed everything in my lap, saying it was totally up to me to show up at the predetermined pickup zone. How do you not involve your kids when the ex is playing games? I had to suck it all up, even though I wanted to see my kids, I had to hold my ground. After I refused, the ex called me back when she realized that I wasn't budging. Her boyfriend convinced her to find a happy medium. Her weekends off must be very important. I got my kids by 8:00 that night and so far our new arrangement is working out fine. My papers say if they're 30 mins late, you are not entitled to let your kids go. It's your option if you have custody. If you are the non custodial parent then your only option is NOT to get your kids. Sometimes we have to exercise all options (even the ones that hurt) before some people realize that the world DOESN'T revolve around THEM.

I just got home and all three of my children were taken from my home. I called my 12 year old on his cell and he explains to me that DAD came to the door and wanted them to go with him. His visitation is a joke!! He is suppose to get the kids M-F during the summer and every 3rd weekend. Well this was suppose to start the 7th of July and he never showed up he made the choice to work or party instead(which he is not current on child support)He knew I was working and took advantage of that and removed the kids. Since he never showed up on the 7th day of his visitation,and when he does is is 3 days late without any notice to me, this is just so unethical. Does our law support the other parents visitation to continue just because it is convenient to them to be late or turn up whenever? The rights of the children need to be protected. This is unfair. The local police say talk to your attorney. Come on, I have paid over 2,000 to file for divorce(cause he thought the grass was greener....)and that supposely paid for this so called "order". Well since he is in contempt of now everything on "the order" why should I have to PAY again to now REenforce this 2,000.00 piece of wasted time and $ when he still gets to be a father when he wants to, or not having any other responsibilites to uphold this order. These children that are going back and forth on irregular visits worries me about what kind of adults they will become. My attorney just told me that he is not in contempt as he is still exercising his rights to visitation even through he is 3 days late...I am disgusted in our justice system!
