Not sure if i did the right thing

[LdiJ]

Per this I have a hypothetical question. Say the judge does agree to grandfather providing the transportation and the grandfather decides not to bring him up for school for whatever reason, what would be the possible repercussions besides me having to drive down and bring my son to school myself?

And say the father is granted the visitation and I am required to do all the transporting is there a possibility that I can request help paying for the gas and what not. We do not have a support order issued because the father is unemployed and at the time of the custody arrangement i didn't want to put that strain on the family.

The judge isn't going to order you to provide transportation back and forth to school during dad's time. Its just not going to happen.

In fact, I honestly don't see a judge ordering 50/50 in your situation, despite the fact that its been a voluntary, status quo thing for the last 9 months.

You have an hour distance between you, and dad has no real ability to provide transportation back and forth to school. Its simply not a realistic timeshare given your specific set of facts. The only way its going to happen is if grandpa is willing to provide the transportation, and I don't see that being realistic for the long haul either...not when it adds two hours to grandpa's daily commute.

And again, you have current court orders despite the fact that you have not been following them. Those are the only enforceable orders. If dad wants something else, he would have to file for it, and he wouldn't get anything in place before school starts.

If the judge orders DAD to provide transportation (by enlisting somone like grandpa) then dad would have to follow through. If he doesn't then he would be in contempt. If he is found in contempt seriously enough OR the child is missing/tardy to school, that could be grounds for a modification of parenting time.

And say the father is granted the visitation and I am required to do all the transporting is there a possibility that I can request help paying for the gas and what not.

Possibly.
