[quote=Anonymous]What is the current custody arrangement?

I think there's a difference between custody and visitation here.

If a kid is living in two households, and dividing time between them equally or close to equally, then each household needs to make decisions about activities and social opportunities for their house, with some coordination about things that commit both houses (e.g. a sports teams).  There needs to be a recognition that different households have different comfort levels with the amount of time kids spend on different things.

If a kid has one parent with custody and one parent with limited visitation, let's say once a week, and the custodial parent schedules something that interferes with that one visit, then either the event or the parenting time should be rescheduled.  So, if your kid sees Dad on Friday nights, and only Friday nights, but this week their BFF's birthday party is a sleepover on Friday, then he gets Saturday or to pick up the kid for a midweek dinner.
