I got more custody because my ex refused to take the kids to sports and extracurriculars

[Anonymous 1]

My kids are in high school. They are active in the school. Each is on a sports team and/or part of extra curriculars. My ex thinks they are a waste of time. He wont go to games or pick them up from anything. I was driving them from school to his house on his time and many mornings I was picking them up from his house and taking them to school.

My lawyer had me document it and I took it to court. We said we felt it was in their best interest for them to live with me during the week. The kids even got to talk to the judge and say how they felt about it. Not only do I have custody of them during the week and 2 weekends a month their dad is court ordered to take them to any scheduled events on his weekends or find another way to transport them. He also has to pay child support now and chip in for fees.

The judge did not seem to like how he talked down to the kids about their sports and other things they felt were important to them and their future. He is pissed at the kids and I am sure he hates me now but oh well. Just because those things are not important to him doesnt mean they arent important to the kids.

Yay for you?

I am sorry your kids had to go through all that. I can understand the judge’s decision.

It seems to me that one of your major gripes was the amount of running around that you had to do versus the amount of running that he was willing to do. If that was the case, why, when the kids were at his house, were you picking them up and driving them to school? It seems that would have been one area where you could have spared yourself some driving.

Because they have a lot of stuff before school like practices or meetings

What happened that he was full custodial parent in the first place? You said you felt it was best they lived you all week. Why was he granted weekly custody and you weekends in your divorce?
