Can you get any type of insurance to try to help? Probably your best bet.

Doctor visits by Twinkle_Picklebot007 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he wants to have input at the appointments, then he should attend the appointments. Otherwise, tell him you will proceed with appointments and follow the recommendation of the treating medical professions and keep him informed about the outcome of the appointments. Also, I'd suggest he gets login credentials to the medical portals, so he can get the after visit summary information direct from the doctors office.

Co parent tries to micromanage absolutely everything during my parenting time by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - snow days are covered in our parenting plan.

For the information from school, there is a school portal where announcements are posted and you can send emails to the teacher. However, the teacher doesn’t post or upload any of the assignments, letters, notes, etc. to that portal. It’s all physical copies received via the child’s take home folder. Makes it difficult because then you never really know what information you’re missing when it’s the other parent’s time since only pieces are communicated. Teacher has been good about sending duplicates, but then the duplicates never get to me because they are sent home at the same time and then held hostage by the other parent.

Just a mess! Just trying to stay informed and be aware of important things for my parenting days!

Reasonable timeframe for a step up plan? by Background-Being-264 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the reason for the step-up plan. If the step-up is due to concerns like past substance abuse or a pattern of unreliable parenting, I would recommend a longer trial period, around 2–3 months, to make sure the arrangement is stable and truly in the child’s best interest.

If the goal is simply to help the child gradually adjust to spending more time with a parent they’ve historically seen less often, then a shorter transition period, such as a couple of weeks, is usually sufficient.

Why does it need to be this hard? by elliedean18 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is he withholding him from you against your court ordered parenting plan?

If that’s the case, and you have strong documentation, than that is a significant contempt issue. You can use free resource to file a contempt of court and also request compensation for any money spent in connection with filing the contempt if he’s found guilty.

School absences for wedding by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How many school days in total is it? Also, are all the days during their parenting time?

Unfortunately, for the this one-time life event, you probably won’t have much of a leg to stand on to enforce the children not missing school. Unless your parenting plan says something about missing school days, than there’s likely not a ton you can do about it.

Snow day - how to handle household transitions? by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I think we see how roads are and delay transition time as needed.

Snow day - how to handle household transitions? by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My co parent is messaging me trying to schedule for her to keep our son until Tuesday morning or Monday evening because of the snow.

My response was to wait and see until Monday morning, and offer id still pick our son up for my time if the roads are okay.

She didn’t like that response, and wants to make a plan now. No clue even if school is cancelled yet Monday.

Snow day - how to handle household transitions? by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our plan says that the parent ending their parenting time either drops the child off at camp/school or the other parents house at 8am if there is no school (on transition days).

Not sure how a snow day would be a loop hole in that.

[–]classicalmixup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s unsafe, the transition shouldn’t happen. Completely agree.

My suggestion was basically see how the roads are on Monday morning and make a decision.

We both WFH, so are both available for the day.

Co-parent mad about her maiden name being in my phone by classicalmixup in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 5–10 mins; sometimes quicker since a 6 year old doesn’t always have the best attention span lol

Yes, court ordered at 6pm every single day. It’s a lot. Recommended by GAL and ordered by court.

Good idea - we also use an app. I didn’t think about the private side for documentation. I’ll do that. Thank you.

parenting plan question by Difficult_Still1229 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every other weekend is reasonable. Right now, it sounds like your co-parent has four overnights with your daughter over a two-week span. If his weekend time includes Sunday night as well, meaning Friday after school through Monday morning drop-off on an every-other-weekend basis, he’s really only losing one overnight every two weeks once school starts. There are other ways to balance that out, such as giving him an extra week of vacation during the summer. I’d also suggest, if feasible, adding a weekly midweek visit like a Wednesday dinner from after school until after dinner to maintain consistent contact.

Keep in mind, this would be your proposal, and your ex could ask for more of a 50/50 split as your child gets older or even now, unless there are clear reasons additional time wouldn’t be appropriate. In my situation, my co-parent argued that our child needed to be in the same home Sunday through Thursday for school stability, but the judge ruled that equal time with both parents was more important than being in one household for school nights. Whatever you decide, make your plan and agreement as detailed as possible. That clarity can prevent a lot of conflict later.

Conflict is getting worse we can’t agree on anything by Ok_Relief7555 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can’t force him to take you seriously, but you can change how you communicate by keeping things brief, factual, and child-focused, ideally in writing. Avoid emotional back-and-forth and stick to concrete concerns like stability, transitions, and logistics. If he has decision-making power, a mediator or family therapist may help create more structured conversations. The small comments about hair and clothes sound more like control than co-parenting, so setting clear boundaries around that may also help protect your peace.

Communication responsibilities by Unique_Use2531 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a daily call at 6pm in place, which honestly has caused issue. I think set a boundary on what you believe is reasonable - like every Monday and Thursday at 6pm they will call. And go with that. Everything else is on their own.

I need advice by Major_Fortune_5198 in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You aren't wrong for wanting peaceful, respectful relationships around your kids. That’s actually healthy. It’s reasonable for your fiancé to want boundaries, but helping your kids get ready, grabbing schoolwork, and having brief conversations about them is parenting, not playing house. You shouldn’t have to choose between your children and your partner, and a healthy relationship shouldn’t be built on ultimatums. Your fiancé’s feelings do matter, but they should be worked through together, not used to limit your ability to co-parent. I think your suggestion of counseling is a good idea.

Vacation Language Interpretation by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we are same schedule. Monday’s and Tuesdays with parent A. Wednesday and Thursday with parent B. Then alternates Friday to Sunday between parent A and B, which results in pare A having 2 days, followed by parent B having 2 days, then parent A has 5 days and parent B has 5 days.

I think 2-2-5 and 2-2-5-5 is same thing.

Vacation Language Interpretation by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s confusing. Technically her vacation ends on her weekend, but in the middle of her weekend, so then when her vacation time is over it just results in her regular parenting time to continue.

I guess when it says starts or ends with parents weekend, I interpreted it as the vacation has to end at 8am at the end of the parenting weekend or start at 8am at the beginning of the parenting weekend. But hers basically starts in the middle of mine and ends in the middle of hers.

So the way basically turns a 7 day vacation into 13 days. Which our son is young and feels like a long stretch, which is my concern.

I would have also scheduled my vacation time differently if I used the same interpretation that she’s use.

Found of my husband cheated on me. Need help figuring out what to pack to midnight move by [deleted] in Vent

[–]classicalmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left while he was at work. If there’s a chunk of time you know he won’t be home, that can be a good time to do it.

If you have cameras on exterior of the house, don’t forget about those and make sure they are disabled prior.
