If they don’t have a relationship, the only person to blame is her dad. He has already canceled his next scheduled visitation. [/quote]

No, she's blocking the contact.  She could have brought the daughter and insisted on staying.  She'll probably continue to block visitation and refuse contact and demand more child support wanting the new wife's money as well.[/quote]

Please. Dad didn't even want his daughter in the wedding pictures, even if she was going to be there. Think about that for a second. She could have been there and still wouldn't have been included in the photos. Now tell me which parent is failing to foster the father-daughter bond. And he made clear that there wasn't going to be much contact between him and DD for the single hour that he wanted her there, since his new MIL would be tasked with watching the kid (not that MIL had been asked about this plan). [/quote]

I'd love to hear dad's side.  He probably compromised at an hour knowing that is at best what OP would allow.  He knew OP was very difficult and restricting parenting time and it was a bunch of bad options.  Its pretty telling that OP could not allow child to go for an hour.  We don't know if MIL was asked to watch the child or not.  You are hearing one side of the story.  OP is looking to justify her behavior.  They may have done pictures while child was there.  OP keeps making things dramatic for her own needs.[/quote]
Dad could have scheduled the wedding during his custodial time and it would not have been an issue[/quote]

It doesn't sound like dad has custodial time and just visits.  Its an hour.  Many dads at best get 4 days a month visitation.  How hard is it to be decent and let him have her for an hour?  He probably got the location venue cheaper during the week/evening.  Nothing wrong with that.  If he picked a fancy expensive venue, you'd be screaming about how much he spent.[/quote]

I’m the OP. Give it a rest already. This is all in the past at this point and you’re just being argumentative. If you had followed the thread, you’d know that I’m the full custodial parent and DD’s dad has regularly scheduled visitation (every other weekend plus one evening a week). He could have scheduled the wedding then. Alternatively, I offered to swap evenings with him for the event so that the wedding would have occurred on his night of the week. He declined the offer, presumably because he didn’t want to make arrangements for his child for the entire evening. Feel free to disagree with my decision based on the information I’ve presented, but your armchair psychology routine is ridiculous.

This poor kid is going to resent the hell out of both of you.  I read this and it's like my childhood all over again. You could be the bigger person here and do what is right for your kid. [/quote]
