Standard Custodial Responsibilities to Non-Custodial Parent

My husband and I are getting ready to file for divorce and are still working out the details of the paperwork to include the parenting plan. My husband is insisting that I pick up my son at the end of his visitions with his dad. I agreed to picking him up after his weekend visitations but not during the week. He is now insisting that I do this. Does he have the right to demand this of me? He does not have to worry about transporting our son 4 nights a week. He is claiming that this is the norm, but I don't believe that it is. I have looked at the King County Superior Courts website but have been unsuccessful at locating this information. Is this just something that I am going to have do whether it is convenient for me or not? Any direction that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Standard Custodial Responsibilities to Non-Custodial Parent

There is no particular law or rule. If your husband and you can not come to a workable compromise, the court would have to decide the issue on the basis of the particular facts and circumstances.

BTW, have you given serious thought to the harmful effect of divorce on children, and reconsidered working on the marriage?
