Co Parenting Communication Challenges

Summary

Co-parenting often involves using terms like my weekend to indicate scheduled time with children. If communication is challenging, reviewing custody agreements and considering mediation can help improve the situation. Documenting communications and possibly modifying custody agreements to include specific terms about event attendance and notice requirements can also be beneficial. If you have an order to modify support, ensure all documentation is organized.

My ex only communicates when things benefit him. His typically and standard communication regarding plans for Sunday are he drops the kids off around *-3pm with little to maybe 15min notice. This weekend, there is a baseball parent meeting at 2pm. He made certain to tell me that he will be taking our son because it’s « his weekend ».
It sounds like communication and scheduling are a bit challenging. If your custody agreement doesn't specify details about events like the baseball meeting, it might be helpful to:
- Review your custody agreement for specifics.
- Consider mediation to improve communication.
- Document all communications for reference.
Would you like more information on mediation or any specific legal advice on custody agreements?
Nothing specifies it. I responded and said that it’s not necessary to assert possessiveness. That I will be there too. Further communicating, Consistency is more important than trying to manipulate a situation to perceive as being an involved parent or tying to control the baseball schedules.
It sounds like you've made your position clear regarding the importance of consistency and shared involvement. If you're looking for ways to address or improve this situation, you may consider:
- Mediation: It can help improve communication and resolve scheduling conflicts.
- Modifying the Custody Agreement: If needed, you can seek to include more specific terms about event attendance and notice requirements.
Would you like more information on either of these options?
Not at this time. I have an order to modify support
