Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
I have a couple of things.
First, I need a general definition for "joint" decisions. I understand the general idea. He thinks that when one of our children go home from school, I need to contact him immediately. I feel that this is part of the everyday health. All of our children have asthma.
Next, problem, I have is that he says he does not have to hold up to his end of the parenting plan. He doesn't have to visit his children. I have been very considerate on working with him, due to my children need to keep that connection with their father. He first didn't see them for months, then "they" decided to start taking them on the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month. Then one weekend he was supposed to take the children, he had not contacted me on any changes. When I dropped the children's bags off at his mother's house, she asked if I had spoken with him. I replyed no....he never called me. The set up time was for him or his other half to pick the children up at 4pm. I called him that night at 7 pm and asked if he was ever going to call and let me know that he wasn't going to take them for the weekend. He then replied I don't have to take them.
I know he can hold me in contempt if I don't let him see them.
Can I hold him in contempt for not seeing them?
