As a Dallas divorce and child custody attorney at The Blacknall Firm, I understand the difficulties that can arise during the child custody process. One common issue that parents may face is when the other parent refuses to take the children to extracurricular activities during their visitation time.
It can be frustrating when the other parent is not fulfilling their end of the custody agreement, but there isn’t a whole lot that you can do to force them to take the children to extracurricular activities during their visitation time. However, there are some things you can try to negotiate with the other parent.
For instance, you can let them know that if they allow the child to go to extracurricular activities during their visitation time, you will give them makeup time on weekends that they normally wouldn’t get. This could be a compromise that works for both parties.
It’s important to make sure that any agreement you reach with the other parent is in writing. This can be done through text, email, or using one of the parent facilitator apps such as Our Family Wizard. Having the agreement in writing will provide evidence in case the other parent flakes out on the agreement.
I hope this information has been helpful to you. If you have any specific questions about your situation, please feel free to reach out to me or my team at The Blacknall Firm to schedule a consultation. We are here to help you navigate the child custody process and find solutions that work for you and your children.
