Mutual agreement works fine?

Court order allows my ex husband to visit the children from 2-5 at the daycare. well, my boss changed my schedule to have me leave at 2:00 due to having to pick up my son from school and her not having anyone to watch the room i was taking care of at the daycare where they go and where I worked. So, I proposed my ex to meet at mc donalds instead of the daycare from 3-5 since he was in school from 2:00-2:45 (which is out of my control) He agreed to it and we both signed a paper and we have ben doing this for 2 years, he has only come 1 time - 2 times every few months if the kid's are lucky. I don't hold any visitation away from him when he wants to come he can. He has been in total agreement and not done anything for two years. So, since we did a mutual agrement it should hold up in court, and if the judge say's you should have notified me so I could have signed off on it but since you guy's agreed let's figure something else out that will work, right?

Courts generally respect parents who do what is mutually beneficial for their children. You had the foresight to write and sign an agreement which should work in your favor, if you also had it notarized that would be even better. If he isn't showing up for the visitation he agreed to and you are not withholding visitation what are you looking for the courts to do?

Unless it was signed and ordered by the judge it will not stand up in court..
Since the children's father has refused to hold up his end of the agreement than you should not be held responsible for breaking it as well..

You were doing your ex a favor making arrangements so that he can see the children, NOW if he refuses to show up at the agreed upon time, your ex has no one to blame but himself.

Best of Luck

If the standing agreement is already signed by a judge and the father is not visiting with the children there is really no need to waste the courts time especially if the father is not exercising his rights to visitation on a regular basis. I would not bother spending the time or the money going to court.

It is unfortunate the they father is unable to see the children in the said time slots. You may want to see if he is able to see them at another time you do not need to court for that it seems like the two of you are able to communicate without a judge, so do what is in the best interest of the children if he wants to see them and can at a different time make the children available for him as parents it is not about what is convenient for us it is what is best for our children.

Always keep that in mind and you cant go wrong.
