Legal Question in Family Law in California

One option is to agree to go to co-parenting counseling to resolve this issue short of returning to court. If dad refuses this informal mediation effort, then file a motion requesting that the court grant this request.

While my answer may not generate me much business, I am about saving money for people if I can. There can be many issues with one parent dictating how the other one spends time with their child. The Court could say that you will not be allowed to sign up for anything that your ex does not agree with.

Did he agree to this, or did you think your daughter would pressure him to comply? If he is only an every other weekend dad, he may have other plans to pack into the little time he has with her, and may resent that his plans now have to conform with you telling him what he is going to do with her - you two divorced.

You should have included him in the decision, and this would likely have gone much smoother. Dads want their daughters to be happy. They don't want to be controlled by their ex wife either. Allow him to participate in the decision making.

I don't know why he refuses to take her. Maybe he has valid reasons, and won't allow a teenager to run the household. There are two sides to every story, and you really should sit down with your ex and LISTEN to him and make him feel that he plays an important part in your daughter's life, not just a limousine service for her every other weekend. Be fair, listen, and try to come to some agreement before hauling him into court, because I am not sure it will go the way you want it to.
