Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
He won't share what plans are when he takes kids
We are to share all concerns with each other about kids. He hangs up if I try to talk to him. He tries to have daughter hide or lie to me about events that are going to take place when he has the kids on weekend visits. I have asked him to make all plans with me and not the kids so if any changes are made and something is forgotten they are not at fault.He refuses to and doesn't even take them unless they call for him to. We have been through mediator and have court papers on shared custody but I am primary and they live with me. He has only weekends. He has a girlfriend and lives with her, he refuses to do things with just them when he has them, he insists they will need to go with her and her children too for all events.They just want to see dad and spend a little time with just him. How can I get through to him he left us two yrs. and five months ago. Kids don't like girlfriend as she split us up. I lost my lawyer recently because I cannot afford to pay him every month and he is expensive, I am on ss.Lawyer knew I would struggle but promised to pay him all money owed. He finally asked for consent for divorce as soon as I had no attorney and has really done my kids and I a very very hard life! Please help!more problems too!

Re: He won't share what plans are when he takes kids
If your custody order states that your husband has shared legal custody and that you and he will share in all decision-making, his behavior is in violation of the order. Your recourse would be to file a Contempt Petition.
If you are in the midst of a divorce, it is a difficult time to be without an attorney. I hope that you find a way to obtain experienced legal counsel, so that you may fully understand your rights at each step through the process.
