[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I somehow feel like more details are needed. Ages of the kids? Reasons for the cancellations? Do you pay your child support (which I know is separate from visitation). Are you changing the hours or conditions for pickup / drop off? Is there a reason yu R home may be unsafe or similar right now?

Also, why would you wait 6 years before this was a problem? [/quote]

Two children under the age of 10. Usually my ex provides no reason for cancellation. On occasion my ex has said one of the kids is sick, or they are going out of town. I do pay child support. I have not changed any hours or conditions for pick up/drop off. No reason why my home is unsafe. I truly believe my ex is trying to alienate me from the kids' lives.[/quote]

Then you document it, and contact your lawyer, who is the person best tasked with ensuring it doesn’t happen any more.

But “on occasion” with reason is not a pattern or targeted alienation. [/quote]

With two kids under 10 and this going back 6 years, it seems likely most were cancelled for illness. Sounds like typical 2 and 4 year olds being sick almost every other weekends due to daycare and primary school.  If mom called and said “Larlo’s sick. Don’t come.”, you should have said “Okay, we’ll swap for next weekend.”[/quote]

In less its a long drive, illness is not a reason to cancel a visit.  Dad can take care of them sick just as well as Mom.  If its a long drive, then you reschedule.[/quote]
