Hello everyone. Since November 2025. We agree both Mom and dad to a new parenting plan during our court date that took place late October 2025. *Only regular weekdays and weekends where modified and not spring brake, summer brake or holiday days brake.* So this matter we have shared 50/50 custody of our two minors a boy and a girl. We just had our spring brake here in Arizona. Around February both mom and dad we agree that I was going to keep our son for the entire duration of his spring brake (1week) and four our daughter we both where going to share her one week dad and one week mom since our daughter had 2 weeks of spring brake. Our My two kids and I) spring brake trip was going to Mexico from Sunday March 8 till next Sunday March 15 which it happened!
Our parenting plan is as follows; Starting Wednesday November 5 2025 me the dad I will pick up the kids from mom at 5:30pm. And then she will pick them up on Sunday at 11am. That's My short work week)…. Then week 2 my long work week;I will pick up the kids on Thursday November 13 at 5:30pm and she will pick them up again Sunday at 11am.
Now a week before the spring brake trip to Mexico our son was sick he had (streptroath) he had fever…so during my pick up date which was March 5 my son was still somewhat with fever on and off (His symptoms started on March 2nd. He was taken to the doctor on March 4)……
Now during my parenting time on Saturday afternoon I called the doctor to see if he was ok to travel (he was taking antibiotics since March 4) doctor said yes if no fever he should be good. But mom started texting me saying that our Son needed to spend half of his spring brake with her now. She changed the whole deal for me at the last minute (here comes the kicker).
And I texted back to her saying " why you doing this, we already had an agreement and you said yes I can have our son the entire spring brake but now you saying he has to spend half of his week with you and we are going to Mexico "….
So first if we go back to the day that I picked them up (March 5) an hour before getting picked up mom texted me saying that our son didn't want to get picked up because he wasn't feeling well still. That only our daughter was going to get picked up. My father intuition said to me. "(I think she is manipulating me trhu our son)…. So I texted back saying that I will pick him up and take care of him. So I went and picked them up and I noticed he had a face that he was crying before I picked him up…. So we came home check his temperature etc, and in the next 24-36 hours he was completely fine with no fever etc, we where out and about doing activities like we normally do (at the park riding our electric bikes etc)….
So after all this here comes Saturday March 7 a day before our flight to Mexico. Like I said above .. She started saying that our son needed to spend half of his week NOW with her and that's when I replied to her saying that we agree in writing that I was going to take him with me for his whole spring brake… so she starting insulting me and saying I'm a bad father etc etc… I told her via text that she had the whole Saturday to call the cops on me I was waiting from the morning to late afternoon and nothing, cops never showed up… SO me I called the cops, I asked for an officer to come to my residence to talk about the issue of she changing plans at the last minute. I explained to the officer that the kids where going to see their grandparents like they normally do during summer brake but this year we going on spring for just a week. He took some information and gave me a reference number to this matter..
Here comes the next day Sunday March 8 6am and we flight out and came back at 8 am the next Sunday March 15. so mom came and picked the kids up that same Sunday at 11am on time…. BUT now on my pick up day which was Thursday march 19. She texted me Wednesday March 18 saying why I didn't picked my kids up on Wednesday and I texted her back saying "what are you talking about??!…. It is my long work week and my pick up day is Thursday" I'm at work! So she now saying that I am at fault as per our agreement we made trhu the court late last yyear. And I told her that she was wrong but she is in denial. So today I'm picking up my kids (my short week March 25) but she is saying that she is not giving the kids to me until tomorrow.
So here I am now dealing with this matter and she is making my life miserable because I don't know why! O wait I think I know why lol is because for the past 2 years I was paying her child support and I took her to court on January this year and now she is the one paying me child support and she has been a dam nightmare since then!
She is trying anything to make my life miserable…now that she is paying me child support, my plan later today at 5:30pm I will be outside her residence like always to pick up the kids if they don't come out I will call the police and go from there….here I will leave you with an email explaining exactly how I am reading/viewing the courts orders…
"Hi (*****)I double-checked the calendar and the parenting plan rotation we agreed to. Because our schedule operates on a continuous 2-week repeating cycle, the weeks don't pause or shift when one of us takes a vacation. > If you count the alternating weeks starting from when our new plan began on Wednesday, November 5th: - The week of March 2nd (before Mexico) was my Thursday pick-up week. - The week of March 9th (during Mexico) was my Wednesday pick-up week. - This current week (March 16th) is a Thursday pick-up week in the rotation. - That makes next week (March 23rd) my Wednesday pick-up week.
The vacation overrides the schedule for those specific days, but the underlying Week 1 / Week 2 rotation just keeps alternating in the background. Therefore, I will be picking them up this coming Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. as outlined in the Week 1 schedule. Thank you again for being flexible with the Mexico trip. "
Her reply to my email she said in Spanish that she needs me to translate that now lool because she says that when we always got to court she has for a translator. Hence she started the petition for divorced etc etc. and she is an electrician so I know what happened that now she needs me to translate this to her. I never replied back!
Here I leave with with screen shots with the court order when it comes to parenting time during vacation/out of school for our children… I am the guy that started a topic under the child support Forum also! and gave an update to that one just now (under new account) also i know some of you guys will connect the dots from this topic and the other one.
Any pointers and advice is always welcome, and again I am representing myself in court.
Is been fun and stressful and money well spent!
Regards,
D!
