Re: Joint custody...Extracurricular Activities
This is a difficult area, and viewed differently by different judges. If it cannot be resolved amicably between the parties, then a judge will probably order that dad's time is dad's time, and if the kid misses out on stuff, then that is too bad. In these situations, the kid usually gets punished. Maybe it can be resolved through mediation -- if not file an enforcement petition.
