But it's hard for me to get my son everyday now with me being in school so his in a daycare of dads choice.My son father don't want to work with me as far as me get my son everyweek and everysummer,days his out of school, and his sick days. The school don't even nofity me when my child is sick.I have tryed to give them the information needed to contact me but the secretary tode me that being that his father is his legal parent over my son anything that need to be change have to go him. I never know anything that goes on in school or the daycare won't even give me record on my son.so being that the desicion was bass on the school that's how he got physicai custody, I would like to go back to court and get joint physical custody back where the child will remand in the some school but mother will have her time with him to. With out his father telling me I need to bring him home because his house is he reside. And I would like to have sole legal custody because I have no say so of my child right his grandmother have more rights than I do? What should I do?

This is so sad, children need both parents, & the support of both parents. I do not know what you can do, but good luck!

If you have joint legal custody then you have access to all records of medical, school or anything of that nature. The only thing is it is the job of the parent with physical custody to give that to you. If they don't then they can be held in contempt. I do believe with all custody situations, the non-custodial had first chioce when it comes to the other parent needing a babysitter whether it be on a sick day or vacation. The courts go by how many "over nights" the non-custodial parent gets. I also know that if you agree on a certain time to pick the child up or drop off then you're obligated to follow that. The other parent can not change it on you unless they have a legit reason. I'm dealing with all this myself except I'm the parent with physical custody. My honest opinion is to try your best to get along. You don't always have to go by the papers as long as you both agree.
