My ex and I have joint custody, with his home being my daughter's primary residence.
My paperwork specifically states that he is to allow her phone contact with me every night between 7 and 8pm ... when I call, 75% of the time my calls are unanswered and not returned. He refuses to give me his cell phone number, stating that having their home phone number is all I need. But they are typically not home or available when I try to call.
My paperwork specifically states that I am to be involved with all school activities. He has attended two meetings with her teacher, without informing me of the meetings beforehand. I have not gotten a copy of her last report card, he states that I can contact the school if I need a copy.
My paperwork also states that we are to meet at a specific time to meet for me to get her and he has decided that time is no longer convenient for him, resulting in me losing 1 1/2 hours of time with her each Friday and an additional hour each Sunday (I pick her up later and give her back earlier). He has changed the location of where we exchange her for our swap of time with her (our paperwork states that we are to choose a "centralized location" since we live 45 minutes away from eachother). It was not up for discussion. He said this is where we are meeting. When I told him that's farther for me to drive, he said "Well, that's where I'll be".
My latest issue is that he and his wife posted X rated photos of themselves involved in sexual acts on craigslist, soliciting single men and women to join them at their home to help spice up their marriage. I understand that it is legal for them to do this, but they invite people to their homes when my child is there (I have proof). Is this just something I have to live with? Just hope that she doesn't see or hear anything and hope that a crazy person doesn't answer their ad??
Please help me. I know that he loves her and cares about her, but how do I get what I'm entitled to and a court of law has awarded me? I am an equal parent to her, and he is not allowing me to be.
I try very hard to be cordial and polite with him and try to discuss things with him, but he interprets our paperwork as him being the decision maker and makes me beg and get upset by consistantly keeping me out of the loop on her life and making changes without discussing them.
I got laid off from my job earlier this year and can not afford an attorney. He is taking advantage of the situation and my daughter is not happy about the time she is losing with me and complains about our lack of phone contact ... and I can't do anything about it.
