Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

visitation exchange modification

Six years ago, judge odered X that for exchange we meet halfway. I got behind on CS and X said if i agree to pick kids up all the way he wouldnt take me to court for back CS. I agreed. I got caught up, meeting halfway again, though he doesnt like it and now he has nothing to threaten taking me to court w/. Got letter from his atty, he is offering me 100 reduction in CS if i change exchange from halfway to all the way, stating I was late picking kids up 57 of 122 times. Our court order is 6:30, we had made 6pm a time but was never changed in court. If i was late it was never over 20mins, and I always called. There has been no motion filed w/ court yet, just letter from his atty makeing ''deal''. Since our court paper states 6:30 as drop off time, anything before that time, is not late right? We meet at 6 but papers say 6:30. Do I have legal ground to stand on if this goes to court? He has physical custody, I am NCP.

Re: visitation exchange modification

If you're not agreeable to what your former spouse's attorney is proposing, then simply tell 'em no deal, and that you wish to continue with the current arrangements.

If you've haven't been taken back to court by now for allegedly violating the court's order(s), it's

not likely to happen at this stage of matters when, apparently, you're all caught up on your child support and continue to comply with what the order requires as to visitation, notwithstanding the assertions of counsel to the contrary.
