Yes, he IS actually trying to pull something! He claims I arrived 35 mins late to p/u dd on 2 occasions...funny, cuz dd and I call her grandma every time I p/u without a witness. Never been over 15 mins late and I'm usually early.

If it were true, I would have to forego mid-week parenting time....he's pulled amazingly dishonest stuff and gotten away it it before, so he's obviously gotten overconfident.

How lame! Now I have my handy, dandy digital camera w/date & time stamp to refute any of his false claims re: timeliness.


OOPS! Sorry, I just noticed I'm going on and on here in the "Father's Issues" forum. DOn't mean to offend.......

Exactly. That's where it is:-)

Don't want to hijack here, but in reference to the question of a witness for exchanges:

My pick up is equidistant b/t the two households (15 miles apart). The EOW plan calls for me to p/u dd at the appointed location at 6PM Fridays and return her @6PM on Sunday.

I do not have an available witness for the Friday p/u as I live in an area w/severe traffic problems. It takes an hour and a half to get to the exchange on Fridays. I do this by leaving work early and taking a photo w/a date and time stamp to show that I am arriving in a timely fashion.

My question is this: how many single parents have an available witness to go for a 2 hr car trip every other Friday at 4:30 PM? Is this a realistic suggestion?
