I hope you aren't informally agreeing to anything less than 50-50. You don't answer to her and her custody demands. She doesn't call the shots, take son and keep son whenever she chooses. IF son has to go this weekend with her to some prearranged and scheduled event or thing...you should propose a calendar that makes up for that time later this month.

"I understand you have plans and events scheduled this weekend with son but just so we are clear, for the time being, we are sharing joint 50/50 custody of son. You've already taken 6 of the last 8 nights without really communicating with me at all and your thing this weekend with make it 8 of the last 11 nights, thus, I am rearranging some things, working early and late so I can have some time off to be with son the end of June to make up for that time under the following schedule:

[insert calendar with you getting 8 of next 12 nights - maybe have her couple of nights fall on a weekend or something to ruin her plans with OM}.

In the US the overnights are what matter.

You could say "Let me know of any tweaks to my proffered schedule you'd like to suggest based upon your schedule.

You are NOT really asking her. Here's the schedule...suggest any tweaks and I will take them into consideration.


The internet is 90% complaining and entitlement and I hate it because I deserve better!
