Have you reported him when he violated it in the past? If so that could cause the order to change- but you have to make sure to document everything well and tell the proper people if/when it happens. Now he could call the police and find you in contempt of court if you don't allow him to take her on a scheduled time. Speak with your attorney. I know it's frustrating- but this isn't about him or you....it's about your daughter.

The only thing I can think of is for you to call the county where the visitation order was established and ask. Call and say what are the ramifications for someone who doesn't follow the custody arrangements.

I have reported it to my attorney in the past. Its very expensive and frustrating! Im trying soooo hard to be an adult and understand this is her father! But, why is it fair that he gets to come and go and I have ALL the responsiblity! I love my daughter and would give my life for her, but I cant have him in and out of her life when it fits into his schedule.

I dont have any personal experience but I've been told that if he breaks his visitation (i.e. doesnt come when he's supposed to see her) then you need to document it, and then petition the court for another hearing and let them know how often he does or doesnt come, and they can deny him his visitation rights if he keeps doing that. I know it might take a little longer or be frustrating during the process but if you really feel like he doesnt want to see her or put forth a real effort, then it will be worth it in the long run b/c either he is going to stick to the visitation schedule or he will not be able to see her at all.
