What happens when in a shared parenting situation, one parent refuses to meet at the agreed upon place and?

tells the other parent that they have to come to his house to bring the child back home? We are talking 1300 miles here. I was given less than 5 days notice.What happens when in a shared parenting situation, one parent refuses to meet at the agreed upon place and?
Who has custody?


How old is the child? (can they fly alone?)





The courts may order the parent refusing to travel as agreed to cover the addional costs of the other parent having to travel.





If you are the custodial parent and the child is not returned an order may be made. The other parent may also be charged (laws vary).





If this is an agreed order already (with place %26amp; date set out - many judjes like to have the parents meet in the middle) he may be in contempt of court.





Speak to a lawyer.What happens when in a shared parenting situation, one parent refuses to meet at the agreed upon place and?
court order and let judge make decision to defuse all discrepancies - this save alot of arguing
He is not your boss or master. Say will meet you half way. You name the place, let him name the time. Why are you so far apart anyway. This is not acceptable for the child.
I would contact the court that put the parenting plan in place to explain the situation and see what they want you to do. Explain about the short amount of notice, if it is not financially workable for you, if you can't take time off work, all the reasons that this is not a reasonable situation, and make sure they understand when and where the exchange was to take place, and what the other party is expecting you to do.
if this is a court ordered agreement than take it to court. they can not do that and in some states the child is never to be more than 100 miles from both parents at any time. if it is not court ordered than make it that way. it seems to me that they are trying to inconvenience you for a reason and you are allowing it. good luck
That does not sound like shared parenting. Take him back to court and seek sole custody.
