I am the NCP and reside in NC, CP and children reside in PA, designated meeting spot is VA.
Holiday Visitation Guidelines:
Thanksgiving = even number years children are to be with NCP from 2pm on the day before Thanksgiving day until 2pm on the day before school reconvenes.
Christmas = every year children are to be with NCP from 2pm on December 26th until 2pm on the day before school reconvenes.
NCP and CP are to meet at designated meeting spot on above days at above times.
My problem is the CP is pregnant and has a C-Section scheduled for December 7th. She has informed me that she won't be meeting me in VA for the Thanksgiving or Christmas visitation times. Her reasoning was it isn't safe for her to travel during Thanksgiving and her doctor has adviced her not to do anything for 4 weeks after the baby (which is by her new husband not me) is born which blocks out Christmas as well.
She did tell me if I wanted to see the kids I could drive all the way to PA both holidays and get the kids and bring them back to PA at the end of the allowed visitation times. I can't afford to do this so this has become a major problem for me. I want to be able to spend what little time I've been granted with my kids but yet again she has to make it difficult.
1) Will a judge enforce the court order even with her having a C-Section so close to those dates?
2) Is it likely that the judge will make her find other arrangements to get the kids to VA if a doctor gives her a note stating she can not travel?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
