What happens when he's a no-show for visitation?

turtle1120 · December 2011

A couple weeks ago Ex decided that he wanted a longer visit on Christmas Eve so he told me he'd like to switch his visit on the 18th for a longer visit on the 24th. For several reasons, that wasn't OK with me so I said no. We argued back and forth but no resolution was ever reached. He said he was going to contact his attorney. I never heard anything further.

So yesterday he just never showed up for his visitation. When he was a half hour late I e-mailed him to ask if he was coming to get DD. He said no, and then told me what times would be acceptable for him to make up his missed visit. My response was that not showing up without notice isn't acceptable and he wouldn't be getting a make-up visit. What happens if your ex just doesn't show up without notice? Do they get to reschedule?

He says he's calling his attorney again....

Let him call his attorney. He cannot change the CO scheduled time without going back to court. Just document that he didn't show up. you didn't do anything wrong and he officially missed his visit.

He doesn't get make-ups. Document it and make a note that he no called and no showed for his visitation. You did everything right

He actually tried to. He filed a motion last week to change the time and it wasn't scheduled to be heard until the end of March...after we finish our mediation ) So really he was just pissed that he didn't get his way and thought he'd get back at me by not showing up.
