ok here is the situation.

My ex get's my daughter every second weekend, which is fine. BUT it seems like when ever she comes home from there she always ends up sick.

For the last 2 almost 3 months my daughter has been sick non stop, it seems like it is one thing after another. Now I dont want to say it is my ex's fault per say, but it seems to be always when she comes home from there.

almost 3 months ago now she came home with an eye infection in both eyes, along with a chest and ear infection to go with it. I finaly get her well and feeling better from that, and have to send her again with her father. Well she comes home from her weekend and the morning after she is home wakes up with a fever and another virul infection. Now get her over that and get her all better. And again off she goes to daddy's house and comes home with the flu, and everything just keeps going down hill.

Now I know my lawyer has advised me that if I dont feel it is in the best interest of my daughter that I do not have to send her, but I am scared that if I dont that I will land myself back in court (which I am fine with if it means keeping my daughter safe and healthy) but at the same time I am scared that the judge will think that I am makeing most of this up. I do have my daughter's dr to back me up for some things but I am just scared the judge will take it the wrong way.

I have asked my ex to make sure that the baby (well she is 2 but will always be the baby) is dressed warm when they go out, I have asked him not to be transporting her from house to house for the whole weekend but he doesnt listen. When he brings the baby home, she is in a spring jacket (even though it is -10 outside and snow on the ground) and no hat on her head, and when I try to talk to him his thing is I am trying to ruin his life, and I need to learn to mind my own business. I am just so at a loss of what to do? Any idea's????

Check your local laws, but I would start taking video of when he brings her back so you can see how she is dressed and what the weather is like.

It sounds like he needs parenting classes.

Unless the judge has there own issues as the mom and custodial parent you don't have too much to worry about.

I would suggest to do what your gut is telling you to do. You may think that a judge or someone wouldn't believe you but if you feel that something is going on you shouldn't worry about that. If something serious happened to your children while they were at there fathers it would eat you up inside by not doing anything. You have documintation from a doctor on her illnesses i would think that would help. I know that you are in Canada so maybe it's just that much different. but I would think that in either country that both would want what is best for the children.

I hope that this helps. And that you make the right decision. The well being of those children is all that should matter.

Good luck!
