Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
I have joint custody of my son, I get my son every other weekend and on wed @6 till thurs @8am. In the judgement papers it states that I the mother is to pick him up at the begining of the visitation and the father is supose to pick him up at the end of the visitation. so my question is am I wrong to assume that he is to pick him up thurs mornings?

I beleive your assumption i sture as to the weekend visitation. It may also be true as to teh overnight weekday vistit. However, (an dcourts allow couples to work the logistics out themselves) most Orders like that operate where the overnight parent drops the child off at school or for the bus to school. You did not indicate the age of your child. If you two can communicate safely, work this issue out with the father. See if there is an interpreation that works for all three of you. If not, then you can assert that the father is to be at your house at 8:00 a.m.on Thrusdays. But you should have to a contingency plan for when he might be late.
Good luck
