.. mine is nearly at an end. Thank goodness court is on Thursday.

WE agreed on a 10pm ending visitation time on Mondays and Tuesdays.
WE agreed he would call me when he was picking up our son so he could have an open pickup time.
WE agreed on all the terms of the visitation agreement.

Not ME, not the COURT, not our ATTORNEYS, WE. WE WE WE WE WE!

So explain to me why he is attempting to make my life a living hell.

Problem 1: He wants to take our son to Georgia for eight days. The terms of the decree are no more than seven days at one time. It's only one extra day, but I can see the potential for abuse.
My Solution: Go ahead and go for eight days as long as you have him call me each day before bedtime.
His Response: No.
My Counter-Response: Then you can't have him for the eighth day. Work with me and I will work with you. Don't work with me, and I won't work with you. Simple as that.

Problem 2: He has open pickup times to accommodate his flexible work schedule. He can pick up our son NO LATER THAN 6pm on Mon and Tue and 4pm on Saturday. During the settlement conference, I stated this was acceptable as long as he called me first so I could have our son ready to go and let him know where we would be for him to come get him if I wasn't at the house. This was agreed to during the settlement conference. Now, he NEVER calls first, assuming I will be here just waiting and waiting for him to show.
My Solution: Call me so that not only will our son be ready to go for you, but it will be respectful of my time.
His Response: No.
My Counter-Response: Then I guess we have to go back to court to get the pickup times and possible pickup locations set in stone.

Problem 3: He has DEFINITE end times with our son. 6pm on Sundays and 10pm on Mon and Tue. He agreed to this in the settlement conference. I agreed to this in the settlement conference. To date, he has NEVER brought our son home at the end time, instead returning him 1-2 hours EARLIER than scheduled. This is a COMPLETE lack of respect for the time our son is entitled with his father, as well as a complete lack of respect for my personal time.
My Solution: Officially change the end-times to reflect the average time he's bringing our son back each time or call me first so that I can say if I will be home or where he can bring Aidan to if I'm not.
His Response: No (on both).
My Counter-Response: Then I guess we have to go back to court to get the end times adjusted, the amount of time before a pickup or drop off he can arrive early, and possible drop-off locations set in stone.

Problem 4: I am entitled to one phone call a day when my son is with his father per DR-610, the official child visitation document. I choose to exercise this at my son's bedtime so I can tell him goodnight. I asked the father to have our son call me before he goes to bed.
His Response: No.
My Counter-Response: I tried calling myself around 9pm, but he wouldn't answer the phone, then HE started calling ME around 8pm, WELL before my son's bedtime, to have him talk to me and have that constitute my one call a day.
My Counter-Counter-Response: You guessed, it, going back to court to even have this addressed. I should be able to choose the time I speak with my own son, not him. And our son NEEDS security and routine and what better routine than to say "Mommy always calls at 9" or "We always call Mommy just before bed?" ESPECIALLY on the nights where he might be upset and missing me.

Problem 5: Transportation. NEARLY EVERY FREAKING NON-RESIDENTIAL PARENT IN THE U.S. HAS TO PICK UP THEIR CHILD(REN) WHEN THEY HAVE VISITATION WITH THEM. But for some reason, he refuses to bring him home on the night I have school. His argument? "Our son ALWAYS goes to bed by 9 when he's with me." Whatever. Up until the freaking DAY I moved out, our son always went to bed when the ex could drag himself away from the computer to put our son to bed and this was ALWAYS between 10 and 11pm. Then he has the nerve to tell me to DROP MY COLLEGE COURSE because I shouldn't have scheduled a class on a night he has our son?

Please explain that one to me. I'm confused. So my class, which is from 6:30 to 10, interferes with his parenting time, which is from No Later Than 6pm to 10pm? And the college is CLOSER to the ex than my house, so dropping him off at 10 with me at the college is actually more convenient for him. I'm still tring to figure out how that interferes with HIS parenting time.

My Solution: If you refuse to keep your own child until 10, the time we AGREED on, drop him off with me at the college or with my sister at her house (still closer to him than my house).
His Response: No. If you want him on Tuesday nights, you come get him.
My Counter-Response: Wha?! Ok, back to court.

I am 99.9% certain that he's doing these things just to try and make my life difficult. Why else would he do them after agreeing to them? When he agreed, he had no idea I was starting college. I bet it irks the pants off of him that I am actually thriving after the divorce, but I don't really care. What I care about is preserving our son's mental well-being and my personal time.

There are a couple more things I'm addressing, like his impending move (he refuses to tell me where and refuses to supply me with a new address unless the court orders it), a possible move to Georgia and handling out-of-area visitation, and some other little things.

Two days. Two days and hopefully everything goes well and I can actually stopped being walked all over by him. He's good at finding loopholes in the court document, and I'm truly hoping I closed them all up. We'll find out.
