OK. So ex-h and i have joint-legal custody. i have SOLE physical custody. My Mom watched our son most of the time .. he is in parent's day out 2 days per week, 5 hours per day. My mom is out of town next week. I told him she's out of town for less time than she really is because i knew he'd throw a fit about someone else watching him. i have arrangements for people to watch him ... monday he's with my brother's girlfriend, Tuesday my brother will take him to school, and ex will pick him up. Wednesday by brother will take him and pick him up. Thursday nad Friday I'm off and he'll be with me. He knows that I'm off Thursday and Friday so I told him that my mom was leaving wednesday night. Just to eliviate any problems. He told me that if he found out anyone other than my MOM was picking him up from school there would be problems. Can he really say or do anything about this? Is it just a waste of his time to try? Time and money .. my brother is 19, by the way. Totally responsbile, and really, really good with our son.

OK .. does it make a difference that he's about $1500 in arrers on child support, and has at least one warrant out for his arrest .. the one I know about is a criminial warrant, for passing bad checks.

Does he really have a legal leg to stand on?

I had a similar situation. But in my case it was my ex's gf picking up my son from daycare. I went and saw an attorney and they said that there was nothing I could do. If its his day, he could have anyone pick up my son. I also asked the daycare and they said because we have joint legal custody, he could add her to the list. I also contacted the police and they said unless it specifically states in the parenting plan there is nothing I can do. But if he violates my days, then I could. Well now he is having his gf drop my son off late at daycare, like in the afternoon and not at the scheduled time. So Im going back to the attorney and have a parenting plan revised. I just wish someone would of told me on how strict the guidelines needed to be before I went through this. Anyway, as long as you add your brother to the list, he can not do anything about it. Good luck.
