I have been divorced for 4 years. My children were 2 and 5 at the time of our separation, and since they were not in school, we exchanged children at our homes. (I was also not working full-time.) For the past 2 years, they have been in school, and I have been working. Their father has continued to drop them off at my home in the mornings and I take them to school every day. It was an option I presented him with when I first began working, but it has become a problem and I'd like him to begin dropping them off at school in the morning instead of with me, which is what any parent should do. He has said that he won't do it, and that he's abiding by our "legal agreement per the dissolution." (Which isn't actually true, because other things have changed that are not in the papers...he just likes to use things to his advantage to try to manipulate the situation.) I know that if I went back to court over this (which is what he's threatening), any judge would side with me...I just don't want it to come to that. He says I have primary custody, so it's my responsibility to take them to school. I know that's a bunch of baloney. Here's my question. If I am simply not here in the morning for him to drop the children off, forcing him to do what he should be doing anyhow, will it look bad for me? Am I actually going to have to go to court over this? I hate the fact that he thinks he can be a father without having any of the responsibility involved in it. I live in Orange County, CA.

I wish someone would answer this. I have a similar issue. It wasn't stipulated in the decree because the kids were little.

Am I understanding this correctly? You have "primary" custody and the children stay with the father every school night?

Nope. THink again. I have 93% custody. He has them one night a week for 2 hours and one weekend a month (his choice). I would like the few exchanges we do to be after school. Neutral location instead of me having to take them to his girlfriends house.

How many nights a week so they spend with him?
