Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Co-parenting

I have a question. Right now and for 2 years I have had to bring my daughter to her dad's on Sunday afternoons instead of keeping her overnight on Sunday (along w/the weekend). We live a distance away and I asked my ex to please meet me 1/2 way and he said he won't-he claims in our papers I am supposed to drive her all the time which is not the case. he is very controlling and this is not the only thing he tries to have control over. Besides telling him that we are going to start meeting, is there anything I can do? He's very hard to deal with and tells my daughter all kinds of things that are damaging...for ex. ''I have to meet your mom because SHE decided to move so far away'' thus making it negative that we moved (towards her). I guess I just don't know how to handle him any more. It is very difficult. Thanks.

Re: Co-parenting

The answer depends on wjhat your court orders state. if it places the burden of transportation on one party, that party must provide the transportation unless or until the order is modified. If the order is not specific, you may wish to mediate the issue. If the issue is left up to the court, a party that relocated a furrther distance away may be required to provide the greater amount of transportation for parenting exchanges.
