Question:

I am wondering what the laws are on several issues.

1) On the weekends that I have our children, my ex-wife continually schedules appointments for them that interrupt my parenting time. What are the laws that protect my time so that it is uninterrupted?

2) We have a 13 year old son that my ex-wife wants to continue taking to a babysitter (her mother) on my weekends. However, my current wife is available and would be more than happy to be with him until I get home from work. What are the laws on right of refusal that allow me to exercise my parenting time as I see fit?

3) On the days that I have my children, am running 30 minutes behind and cannot pick them up on time, can I have my wife pick them up? Or does the decision get to be made solely by my ex-wife? Our current custody agreement is 51% for my ex-wife and 49% for me. Is there a site where I can look up specific laws to protect my rights for uninterrupted time with my children?
