Sorry to ask this question again. I can't find the discussion anywhere where we previously discussed this issue. I find it to be very important and relevant to many people.
Case is in MN. I have visitation only. There is nothing in the court order that states I have to be the one to pick up my daughter, also there is nothing in the order that states I can appoint someone else.
Can I allow my fiance' (or wife or someone I appoint) to pick up my child?
In the previous post you stated no, but I can't find it. So I assume no one else can either.
What is it called that I would ask the court for so I could appoint someone else to pick up my daughter?
Thanks for your paitence with me.

Correct.

You could ask for joint custody -- probably will be denied, or you could simply ask the court to clarify the existing orders so that you can appoint someone to pick up /drop off the child for visitation on your behalf, on grounds that it's in the child(ren)'s best interests because ______ (e.g., you don't get home from work until Xpm and apoointing someone else will maximize your time with the kids).
