What is the name of your state? Alaska
I am writing in reference to a friend of mine who is in a horrible predicament. She and her x have been apart for almost 4 years and divorced for 3 years now. They have one son together and they have 50/50 legal and physical custody. Although this is none of my business, her x is being very difficult and mean. The most recent one was over travel to California. Now how they have visitation set up is from tuesday to tuesday ( his demand so the child could not spend any quality time with her significant other of 3 years) even though they live together. ( what makes this a little different than others, is that her now sf is actually her x's adopted father, NOT biological) But what he is doing now is, before x-mas, she was invited to the lower 48 for a special family ceremony. she told the x about it and he said it should be fine. She asked him again before buying the ticket, and still the same thing. It was ok. So she bought the non-refundable, non-transferable ticket for the child. Now 10 days away from travel, he says that the child can't go because the sf is going. The problem being that they would have to leave for appropiate travel time on Sunday since the ceremony is on a Tuesday. so she would be asking for two days of his week. It's to my knowledge that verbal agreements are binding in the state of alaska, he said the child could go, so she bought the travel ticket. She would not have planned for him to go if the x had said no. In my opinion the x would be responsible for the re-imbursement of the ticket if he refuses along with mental anguish and pain and suffering that she would have to get from doing a civil law suit. Also to mention that he has not paid support for 11 months. Any advice that I can give to a friend in much need of help???
