re: OT Lawyers a question about child custody

Your ex is taking the kids on a trip with “Uncle Jody” to introduce them to their new stepdad-to-be. You aren’t just asking her to cancel a trip; she sees this as a control move by you to prevent her from moving on.

Whichever parent has custody at the time of the trip should be the one calling the shots. If it’s her turn and your son isn’t dropped off as scheduled, expect her to call police to report a kidnapping.

If it’s your turn at custody, maybe offer to pay for any change fees if she pushes the trip to another time if you want to be the bigger parent. Otherwise, just chalk it up to marrying a straight up selfish bitch. Don’t dare talk badly about her to your son but hope he can see what’s really going on.
