I had to reply to this....my husband and his ex were divorced right there in Muskogee Oklahoma....She wouldn't let him be near the kids unless she was around and he had to go to her house with her parents there and sit there with him as if he were a monster....
Here is what the judge ordered (they are at a big geograpical ditance as he is in the military).
1 week every 3 months....and he could take the children to his house....this was while the yougest was a baby, and untill the older reached school age.
When older child started school the visitation changed to the following........
1 week in the fall
10 days at Christmas break
1 week each spring break
8 weeks in the summer
The youngest child was 2 when the judge made the later visitation schedule.
I was surpised that the judge did a schedule like the 2 above with no breaking in period....but the problem was that they lived so far apart from one another and the first year of the childs life he couldnt hardly see his children because she put so many impossible stipulations on it....ie....like he would drive 18 hours to see his kids, take leave and she would only allow him to see them for 3 hours!!!!
The judge he had pretty much told her that she was not to interfere with his relationship with the kids and to get over herself.
I know it is hard....but he will get overnights eventually and you may as well start getting the two of them better aquainted.
