BM will never pick up SS
Forums:
So in the CO it states that DH is to pick up SS from BMs house or place of decided meeting and BM is to pick him up from our house or place of meeting. Yet every time we get him we pick him up and take him back an it's a lot of gas money for us and I don't think it's right we have to drive over an hour toget him and get back home and then drop him off and come back home. I think if we have him and we picked him up she should come get him. Or we should be able to keep him until she is able to pick him up. Does anyone know the rights we have regarding this? I know DH doesn't want to start trouble with BM but I don't think it's right for us to have to take him back to BMs when it's her responsibility.
DH's court order makes them
DH's court order makes them split driving because it is an hour away also. Just be firm!

Lindsay, if it says on the CO, it is gospel.
She will have to pick him up.
Why are you guys doing it all the time?
In our situation, BM has
In our situation, BM has NEVER picked up or dropped off. She thinks its DH's job to do this. CO says differently. We are moving about 90 miles away this summer, DH will still commute to work about 3 miles from BM's house. He'll pick up on Fridays but BM will be driving half way to pick up on Sundays or DH will drop the skids off on Monday morning early. DH is done playing her games, she hasn't done ANY work for the skids in 8 1/2 yrs.
Well she has no drivers
Well she has no drivers license and just recently was given a car from her father. BM has no job never has worked and never will is currently pregnant by her live in bf and he doesn't work either. He has his license so I think that she should either have him bring her to get SS or her mother or someone able. There's no reason we should have to do all of the driving and picking up and dropping off. It shows lack of responsibility on her part I believe. Which makes her look even worse. IMHO

Wow. This topic (for whatever
Wow. This topic (for whatever reason) REALLY gets me fuming. BM never drives, skids to pick up or drop off. I was a single parent before I met SO and was financing my car. So our only method of transportation is my car. I put a stop to it,a fter he was delivering her CS to her every 2 weeks(for 5 months). They live an hour away. I had to put a stop to it, especially after she wanted gas money. I used to feel guilty about not seeing the kids, then I thought wait, these arent my kids, their someone elses ie BMs. She doesnt want to help, either do I. Not my problem!!!!!
I don't blame you at all! It
I don't blame you at all! It takes at least 30-45 minutes to get there from my house. DH always drives it. If he ever mentions her picking SS up she always says she can't. Which I think is ridiculous. So I think I may talk to DH about next time she wants him coming to get him. But we're also in the middle right now bc she wants us to keep him a lot due to her not being able to "handle him" and things of that nature so if we stay on good terms and she gives him to us more often we may have a good case for custody battle
