My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Missouri
I am a single father of a 4 year old girl. Her mother and I were never married. I have always taken care of the 4 year old, she has always lived with only me while the mother does whatever she wants to do. At the most, she would see our daughter once a month for about an hour, at a time of her choosing. Recently, I filed a paternity case, was recognized as the father, and was awarded sole legal and physical custody of our daughter. Her mother was awarded reasonable visits which turned out to be every other weekend from 6pm Friday to 6pm Sunday. This is about the first week the order has been in place. She did not show up yesterday at all when it was her weekend. Can she then show up any time Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? The way I understand it to be is she has to let me know 24 hours in advance that she will be late or wants to come on Saturday? Or 48 hours in advance that she isn't going to show up at all. So if she is not here by 6pm to pick up our daughter is she done for the weekend so I do not have to wait around the house all day for her to most likely not show up? Any insight would be amazing since my lawyer is about a jackass. Below is a quote from the order of the parenting plan..
"At least 24 hour notice of any schedule change shall be given to the other parent, and the parent requesting a change shall be responsible for any additional care that results from the change."
" In the event either shall not be able to exercise visitation with the minor child as both parties pre-arranged by the parties hereto, he or she shall give the other advance notice of at least forty-eight (48) hours; and the parties shall agree as to a comparable substitute visitation period to be afforded by the other party."
So again my question would be:
If she doesn't let me know in advance she will be late or not come at all, do I need to wait around the house all day or does that make her weekend cancel out because she didn't follow the order of visitation?
