[quote=Anonymous]One little thing that can help if you have an ex who wants to be around but only for the fun stuff is to maintain control over extracurricular activities.  You get to schedule a certain amount of extracurricular activities per year - you pick them and pay for them.  Pick up time on his parenting days is after the activities end.  This way, kid comes home to your house after school.  You get homework done and touch base with your kid.  This is especially helpful for kids on an IEP.  You get kid on time to extracurricular activities.  Pickup time for ex is after the conclusion of the extracurricular activities.  This little change solved so many problems for me.  Language in parenting agreement is very clear that the extracurricular activities take precedent over both parents' parenting time, meaning if kid has as soccer tournament in another state and your ex can't be bothered to take kid on his parenting time, then you get to take kid and ex loses the time.  This one change helped me get my kid in a much better place academically and keep him there over the years and it allowed kid to participate in sports, which are really important to kid, especially now.  Ex still feels like he has 50/50 parenting time, but it's not even close to that in reality, although it's enough for kid and for ex. [/quote]
