Legal Advice on Parenting Plans

Questioner

I've been divorced for six months, and we've made a parenting plan. Because we live so far apart, we agreed that he would pick up our child from me, and I would pick up our child from him on Sundays. This was also because he has his own business, so he can easily plan his own day and make time to pick up his child. Because I was unemployed for a while, we switched things around so he could stay at the office a little longer. I did this out of goodwill and not as a permanent agreement (as far as I know). He usually asked if I could take them (or kind of demanded it because I wasn't working), and sometimes I even picked them up and dropped them off. This was also to avoid conflict, as I was unemployed at the time and wanted to help him. Now I've found a job and can no longer drive there on Fridays, but he says we verbally agreed to switch things around, and I can no longer fall back on the parenting plan we signed. Is this true? Because I drove there out of kindness, am I now the loser? I'm a single mother and desperately need my job to pay my rent and support our child. (Regarding the drop-off and pick-up, this has been going on for exactly five months now.)

The verbal agreement you later made was simply a temporary one, with the stipulation that it would be cancelled if you found work again. Frustrate this now is unwise. There's no point in it, and it's making it impossible for you to work.
