[quote=Anonymous]Understood and I have an attorney of course.  I was just trying to see if others have encountered this. But the agreement is silent about what ROFR is other the the time frames, so there is nothing to actually use. Everything we read about what ROFR is says that if I am having someone else take care of the kids, I offer ROFR. That before anyone else has time with the kids, the other parent should be offered that time when it is over 6 hours. If the phone rings and I handle whatever issue or emergency comes my way, I am available. But if I cant and have to call in someone else to actually take care of the kids, the clock starts. This doesn't make a difference if I am working 2 minutes or 1 hour away.

I am not trying to get things in my favor, but rather understand and simplify moving forward. Simply calling my ex and offering ROFR is never a simple task and results in the kids being unnecessarily juggled around . Most days I am home by 330. If we start the clock at 8 or whenever I leave for work, even though the kids are at school, vs after school at 230 when they would need care, they now have to take the bus to the exs, spend 30 minutes there, then be driven back to my house. Versus just take the bus home to my house and having grandma be there. And the kids would prefer to just come home and hang out with grandma vs juggle around.

But I understand and respect your perspective and opinion. Ideally, something that modifies the agreement so we can clearly identify if we are say more than an hour away, or more than 30 minutes away, etc.  The problem is, it would even prevent the kids from having a sleepover at their grandparents.  Even if I am home doing nothing, I am more than an hour away from grandparents. So then am I to offer ROFR then too?  [/quote]
