OT lawyers assemble. Child care question.

My 2 year old daughter goes to a daycare where my ex is friends with the owner. My ex and I are co-domiciliary parents since we have 50/50 custody. My ex decides to put her boyfriend of 7 months on the pick up list without asking me if it's ok and the daycare never asked me either. So when I found out that apparently she's ok with our SO's picking up our daughter I put my girlfriend on the list without asking her. We've been together for over a year and she can be trusted with my child. Well today I get a text from my very immature ex saying that my g/f is getting removed from the list and will never be allowed back on the list. Of course the daycare let her know but didn't bother telling me about her b/f on the list. This daycare has always treated me like I'm not even my child's father. They are very disrespectful and won't give me certain documents but give my ex ANYTHING she asks for. Is there anything I can legally do to put an end to the way the daycare treats me. Oh and I pay over 60% of daycare costs.

Go to court. Put in writing the children will only be with immediate family. Did this myself. I even stipulated that people can't stay the night or after 8pm on school nights.

We are co-domiciliary for a fact. I made sure she didn't have any power over decision making.

Shame that both parties are thrusting their side pieces on the kid like that.

I was going to do that but then she would do it back to me and my g/f wouldn't be able to stay at my house when I have her. I'm not trying to make it difficult on her. I'm trying to make it easier on me. I work 4 days a week and during the week my g/f would be able to get her which helps me. But my ex isn't mature enough to let that happen.

It's not a shame that I trust my SO to drive my child back and forth to daycare. We aren't drug heads so it's not a case that will end up on the news where she steals my daughter and sells her for drug money.

Well unfortunately everything applies equally with court orders as I am sure you have seen. The business can practice how they see fit, you really only have the option of controlling yourself by controlling her through court order. Sucks.

For frick's sake...can't y'all at least be adults for the sake of your child? You sound a couple of 8th graders trying to divy up the friends after a break up. If this is truly an issue, then either work it out like adults, or go back to court.

I'm thinking about pulling my daughter out of that daycare and putting her in one where neither parent knows the owners. The only drawback is that I feel it's unfair to my daughter to be taken away from her friends because her parents can't get along over the matter. I want what's right for my daughter but I'm sick of being treated like I'm unimportant to the daycare my daughter goes to

Then do what's right for you daughter. If you have an issue with the daycare, take it up with the daycare. If you have an issue with your ex, take it up with your ex. If y'all can't figure this out, then call your lawyers and go back to court. If all else fails, then take your ball and go home.

A daycare can't arbitrarily decide which documents to release to which parent. If they're doing that, if you have any friends that are attorneys, I'm sure a stern letter advising them that this won't be tolerated, and a written request for the information you need, will likely get them back on track.
Include a copy of the custody agreement in the letter so they can't ever allege they weren't informed of the custody.

I didn't have the problem. She's the one that had the problem. Do have a child with an ex? They are all immature and working shite out with a baby momma is not possible. There are no agreements.

Nope. It's possible when mature parents put the children before their egos and emotions.

I am very sorry for you and your ex-wife. I tell you this not in my capacity as an attorney, but in my capacity as a Dad:
I recently spent time with my son who just celebrated his 32nd birthday. His Mother and I separated right before his 1st birthday. We had 50/50 custody with him living with her. It was a very ugly divorce and she and I did some nasty stuff to one another. None of the nastiness affected our child. My son never heard me say an ugly word about his Mother and he never heard his Mother say a ugly thing about me. I couldn't ask for a better or more well-adjusted kid. The way his Mother and I handled his upbringing is what I am proudest of in my life.
It's time for you to sit down with your ex-wife or call her and straighten things out for the sake of your daughter. Your ex-wife shouldn't do anything concerning your daughter that she wouldn't want you to do and vice versa. If she can have her SO pick up your daughter, you should be able to do the same.
If the daycare is a problem you should speak with them and advise them that you expect the same courtesies of privacy or disclosure that your ex-wife receives from them. If they will not agree, it's time to change daycare.
Nothing you said in your post would indicate that you are being unreasonable. But as an attorney and as a person who has been divorced, I know that there are always two sides to every story. Take this advice, make things as easy and peaceable as you can with your ex. You can still hate her and she can still hate you, but for the sake of your child you both have to act like grown-ups. I can tell you that my son's Mother and I do not hate one another anymore. We don't socialize, but send holiday and birthday wishes to one another. It has worked out for us, but more important, it has worked out for our son.
Best wishes to you. Keep your daughter's interests paramount.

Like Festus said, send them an email asking for any documents along with a copy of the custody agreement. If this fails to clear up the situation, then let them know you will be reporting them to the state(this is if they are a licensed daycare). They would rather comply legally, than lose their license due to a friend. I had to do this almost 15 years ago. Don't come off as a pissed off parent either. Have all communications with the daycare in a very civil manner.
