Julie, I can't speak to the legal side per se. It is good co-parenting to keep each other informed, absolutely, and the information should not be kept out of spite. However, in a divorce, each parent has their own parenting time for which they are responsible. What happens during those parenting times are up to that parent.
As a therapist, the kids will only be affected if it is hung out to dry in their faces instead of being kept between the adults.
My main thing was that Jim, who is a fixer and bends over backwards so much for his W, needs to start establishing boundaries and earning respect back. I don't get the sense that Jim's WAW was requesting the van. Instead, he is trying to fix the situation for her, which is something she needs to do on her own. A wayward spouse needs to face the reality of the situation.
